Exception code: 0xc0000005

25 days later:
Not a single CTD.
XMP: all the way (Does not seem to be related).

So i tried all the fixes as described above, including updating drivers, BIOS, increased page file but nothing worked. When i opened a Zendesk ticket for this error code 0xc00005, the zendesk page said that people with i9-13900 processors may have CTD’s due to damage to processors due to some voltage issue with certain motherboards [ Like ASUS motherboards], and Asobo/ Zendesk recommended opening a ticket with Intel [there is a separate topic on this elsewhere].

So i opened a ticket with Intel, and got my replacement i9-13900K CPU yesterday. I replaced my old CPU with this one. Incidentally, i felt like two of my memory sticks were VERY VERy slightly not fully seated in their slots. When i pressed down on them, i heard a satisfying click.

Today there was also a small update to the sim. Anyway, i have FINALLY completed two full flights of FS2024 and they were rock solid and smooth from start to finish! I also went into VR, and there were no CTD’s there either!

Previously i also would have to reboot my PC after a long flight [ as if i didnt, my PC would crash]. But this time. I flew 2 VFR flights in VR, without rebooting my PC and both were smoot hand rock solid!

The error code i would get in Event Viewer was always the 0xc00005 error.

So for other with the Intel i9-13 or i9-14oo CPU’s look into this issue. Also make sure your RAM is seated well in the slots.

Good luck!
