A “brief” summary of what I have done so far:
To start, the base, a level configuration to run MSFS in VR
Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 GAMING PLUS
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: RX 6800 XT
RAM: 4x8Go 3200MHz
SSD: 1To
1 -English (US) Language Installation
I was able to make flights of more than 10 minutes before having a CTD, I can now make flights from 1h until 3h. But I can also get a CTD after 2 minutes.
2 -Uninstall ALL Microsoft Visual C++ reinstalling the last Microsoft Visual C++ 2015, 2017 and 2019
It didn’t change anything, I still have random CTDs.
3 -Increase Virtual Memory from 16GB to 32GB
It didn’t change anything, I still have random CTDs.
- Increase Virtual Memory from 32 GB to 48Go
I was able to do a 5 hour flight with a CTD at the end in front of the boarding gangway.
4 -Stability test although I did no OC, with LinpackXtreme
Everything is OK, but nothing new on CTD
5 -Installing Windows 10 on a new hard drive, without any other program, all installed updates, MSFS is installed on a 2nd partition.
It didn’t change anything, I still have random CTDs.
6 -Uninstall the RX 6800 XT AMD driver in administrator mode, blocking the installation of the driver by Windows.
It didn’t change anything, I still have random CTDs.
7 -Launch MSFS as an administrator.
It didn’t change anything, I still have random CTDs.
8 -Community folder empty.
It didn’t change anything, I still have random CTDs. First test with the TBM930 CTD after 3 minutes starting from London
9 -Power limit increase in AMD driver up to +15%
It didn’t change anything, I still have random CTDs. First test with the TBM930 CTD after 3 minutes starting from London
The next step will be:
I read that MSFS should be installed on C
Disable HP Reberv G2 Standby
If you have any ideas, I’m interested…
If after that I still have CTDs, frankly, I don’t know what to do…
@DarkClown How do you see the use of physical and virtual memory while MSFS is running.
I read that you shouldn’t put the virtual memory on an SSD, but it’s the same thing on a NVMe, because every time you write on that type of disk, their lifespan is limited.
EDITION: 03/30/2021
MSFS Update V1.14.6.0
AMD Driver Update 21.3.2
