Hello again,
When I try to fly a mission in DCS World--most A-10) the simulator crashes about half way through and I get the Blue Screen of Death.
I have a custom-built Digital Storm with 3.6 ghz and two video cards. I'm using Windows 7. Also, I'm using a Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog controller and Saitek Pro Flight rudders.

Oddly enough. when I fly the stand-alone version of A-10, no problems arise. I've tried re installing DCS World several times. For some reason, I can't use Multi-Player in the the standalone A-10--no servers show up--so I need to get DCS World working again so I can get back online.

Thanks for your help

I would suspect that it is a graphics driver issue and maybe you are using two different settings in the two versions of the game? Does it happen when you run with only one GFX-card?

Can you see which process is reported in the blue screen? It should be in the windows eventlog as well.


... or it might just be this:

You were right, it was a graphic card issue. They were overheating. Thanks for your help.
