The only game on my computer that causes this difficulty is Tower3D Pro. I have Tower 2011, Tracon, ATCSimulator, Tower Cab from same company. All these items have always worked well except for Tower3D Pro. A clean install of Win10 is a lengthy and touchy maneuver to do for just one game. This will take some thought before I decide to do that route. Thanks, Nick

Difficulty started before upgrade. The upgrade was done to see if that would remedy this matter. Thanks, Nick

No results regarding memory swaps. Maybe someone has an idea based on the following occurrence: Tower3D Pro is run as an administrator. Whether I initiate the program with a Desktop shortcut, Tower.bat or Tower.exe from the Feelthere\Tower3D pro file location the same sequence occurs. The music starts to play and the splash screen appears. As soon as the word START arises from the bottom of the splash screen, the computer immediately stops and a reboot sequence is started. Just a reminder: Win 10 was upgraded to the latest version All system and video card fans were cleared of any dust Memory Sims were reset in their slots The program was completely removed and installed 10s of times Locations used included the default installation places or a new location directly under the root file. Program was run as administrator Win 8 compatibility is being used based on the compatibility algorithm. Automatic restart was disabled. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Nick

Yesterday after a reboot, a memory check was initiated by the system. It took several resets to clear the issue. So you might be correct about a failing device. The cooling fans have recently been cleared of any dust. The first step will be to switch the positions of the memory chips. Sometimes a failing chip, if put in another slot, will by pass the bad section. The next step will be to run Mem86 and see if that produces any positive results. Thanks for your input. Nick

After a successful run of Tower3D Pro, the anomaly is back with a vengeance. All the tricks I tried in the past no longer work. It is now impossible to run the program without it resetting my computer. Just to be sure, I deleted it and cleared out the register of all instances of "tower3d." The program was reinstalled several times with no success. I even updated 10 to the latest iteration. There MUST be an indication somewhere in the "reports" that indicate what is triggering the reboot. Any help in this regard would be appreciated. - Thanks, Nick

Default setting being used - Nick

It is not infallible. To better my chances, I run tower3d.bat several times as administrator. It is equivalent to rubbing a rabbit's foot😔

The use of MultiCore Next ( see previous post) seems to be solving my problems. Thanks, Nick

Tried installing on C:\Tower 3D Pro, not effective. The use of MultiCore Next ( see previous post) seems to be solving my problems. Thanks, Nick

I might have found a workaround to my difficulties with resets and access violations. Using a program called MultiCore Next, I configured Tower3D Pro to use "Core 3", Below normal Selection of Priority and "No" to Selection of Boost. These settings would make sense if you have the program. So far, so good. I will keep ringing it out to see if Tower3D Pro fails anymore. Thanks to everyone for your input. Nick

I'll give it a try - thanks

It looks as though a fresh install might be necessary. Thanks, Nick

Yes, admin mode is being used. Thanks for your help, Nick

Very helpful - thanks!
