A question on the apphangB1 freeze

[Cobrakev1526]

Hi Pete thanks so much for all of your hard work and dedication to the Flight Sim community.

I just joind this fourm because I have a question that I thought I read somewhere on here or else were. It was regarding the ApphangB1 crash or freeze being related to memory or Ram. I read that if I have my DRAM set in the bios to auto ( I have an ASUS Rampage 2 Extreme) that it will eventually cause this crash, but if I set it to a specific voltage NOT to exceed the recommended limits that it would greatly reduce or altogether eliminate that freeze. I have set my DRAM in bios from auto to 1.64 volts on my ram and haven't encountered any more freezes. However I haven't had more than a weekend to test this out further. I am wondering what your thoughts are on this...

Also sorry if this base been posted before I just haven't found it yet.

Ps thanks so much for the G3d.dll CTD fix...

Sorry, you've lost me entirely. I'm not a hardware guru, and I've no idea what 'ApphangB1" is. At first I read that as " "apfang" (as a name) then realised you meant App Hang. But what's "B1"?

I've no idea how my DRAM is set up. I have 2000 ram running at 1866 I think. My mobo is an Asus, but a Maximus iV extreme, and was put together for me. I gave up building my own a few years ago. ;-). I haven't really had any freezes with this machine. I used to on my previous one (a water-cooled overclocked I7-980x system) and had to underclock the memory on that too.

I doubt that anyone would think to post such stuff here -- maybe on a hardware forum, as on AVSIM? This support forum is really for FSUIPC and WideFS.
