computer crashes with GoFlight

[HIJACK2]

Jack Wilson, Lahaska, Pa 18931 USA. 15 February 2011

I have the FSUIPC4 4.60 purchased last week from simMarket and a few GoFlight modules. All installed according to the directions.

Both installed on my system = Win7, 64 bit FSX, EVGA X58 SLI Chipset Core i7, Intel Core i7 980X Liquid Cooling, 12 GB Mushkin Redline DDR3 1600 MHz CL6, 1536MB Nvidia GeForce GTX 480

When I plug the GoFlight modules into the USB the computer freezes and I have to restart. I have tried plugging both before and after entering in the FSX program and before and after restarting the computer. In all 4 cases as soon as I start to use the FSUIPC4 to program switches or buttons the computer crashes.

Any suggestions how to fix this problem will be very much appreciated.

Your account seems to contradict itself. Which of these is true?

1. Your computer freezes as soon as you plug GoFlight USB modules in.

Or

2. The computer crashes when you run FSX and enter the FSUIPC buttons and switches tab.

"Freezing" is not "crashing".

If the whole computer crashes or freezes and you have to power off and on again (reset) then there is most certainly a driver level problem. Try uninstalling the GoFlight software and downloading and installing the latest.

For GoFlight kit FSUIPC uses the GoFlight driver called "GFDev.dll". Make sure that is installed and is correct for your equipment. There is a recent one of those provided in the Download Links subforum here. FSUIPC itself is not capable of bringing the complete computer to a freeze or crash.

You might also want to try updating your FSUIPC4 to the latest version, 4.661, also available in the Download Links subforum.
