PC locks after 10 minutes

Post by ExaurUK » Fri May 22, 2020 9:30 am

Hi, I have recently started having PC lock ups after about 10 minutes. Screen freezes and PC needs power off/hard reset. Locks even if just left on the initial "Start Flight" view out the cockpit screen, only does it when running Condor 2. I recently fiddled with screen capture and this is possible cause but I have updated drivers and re-installed Condor. GTX 1660 Ti Graphics card, always been reliable until now. I used to get a little slide out message top right when Condor was loading about using Nvidias in game experience, but this no longer appears.
I would be grateful for any advice about how to start debugging this.
Best Regards, Bob

Ive seen a few people have lock up issues using nVidia experience / shadowplay. Try removing it:

Just be to sure, I would also check temperatures of your gpu and cpu. Easiest tool for that is gpu-z:

You can also try running some stress test to make sure the problem is limited to condor. This is a good one:

You should try to perform a clean installation of the NVIDIA drivers by selecting the proper checkbox during installation (you will lose NV control panel settings), many problem are solved just by doing that.

Many thanks for the help, I'll try these sugggestions. A temp issue would explain the way the system behaves. Hopefully, a little at a time, I will get the system back.
Best Regards Bob
