Hi flyers!
I've seen this kind of error in several message boards before (but never
figured out a solution); After 10-20 minutes of flying, everything freezes
(the whole computer). It almost always happens when graphics is intense,
i.e. when making a 30 degree turn and with heavy clouds on. Have to switch
power off an on to get system running again.

I have a P-III-600 system (133 MHz bus), 27.5 Gbyte disc, 128 RAM and a 64
MB Rage Fury Maxx graphics adapter. Mobo is an Intel CC820. OS is W98-SE.

Sometimes I also get"TERRAIN.DLL" and "<UNKNOWN>" errors. Just before
landing (i I can run that long)! Getting crazy....

Is it the drivers (using latest published from ATI and latest BIOS from
Intel) or is FS2000 a "non finished" program (patch 2, #2)? Or is it a
combination?

I tried with open computer case and a really huge fan directed either to CPU
or to graphics adapter, so I don't beleive I have a temperature problem! I
also tried this in combination with disabling one of the graphics CPU:s. If
this happened with an real 777 i don't know what....

Any suggestions?

/Slinde ps:
When using "normal" 2D Win-applications, everything works like a dream.
