since 2.5 system crashes with loud noise

Post by Dirk-Jan » Sat, 8. Jun 19, 22:57

Never had them playing X4, game crashes sure but never system crashes (only way to reboot is power off/on). Now with 2.5 I'm getting them several times a day.
At the time of the crash a very loud skrieching sound like radionoise as well.

Unless lots of other players report the same issue with 2.50, you will really need to provide some information if you want meaningful advice.

Have you verified the game installation since the update?

I know, that's why I close with "just to let you know". If nobody else experiences anything like this I don't expect ES to look into it :)

Sounds like a hardware issue, is this only happening on X4?

It's more likely to be a device driver issue that we perhaps could identify from the DxDiag and error reports. The same causes can also be the source of other game and performance issues not amounting to system lock-ups.

In my experience this can be a sign of a GPU beginning to fail.

Try running a GPU stress test like furmark. Like wise a CPU stress test would also be useful to test stability in case that is the cause. If hardware is working correctly neither test should cause stability issues or show graphical errors.
