Upgraded now have Launcher lockup

[Pudfark]

I have recently upgraded everything except CPU.
I now cannot run, the blackdeath track with out
getting the launcher.exe error....CPU is the only
part O'Ced...@ 3.6 All else is stock.

Graphics card settings are all med to low?
My current system specs are in my sig.

I'm wondering? If, I should attempt to re-install the game?

Thanx...

Does it fail immediately?

Everyone gets Launcher failure, but after flying for a while.

S!

I would check BIOS and update if required. Also check voltages etc. as they can vary if you changed to another chipset etc.

[Pudfark]

Thanx for the response.

The sim loads and starts normally, I select the "Black Death" track and start it. I watch 99-100 percent of it and then the Launcher.exe problem...requiring a trip to the Task Manager to end the program. I have not tried to "fly" the sim.

All temps are "normal". Some increase in GPU from 31-59 degrees C.

Old Mobo was a Gigabyte 790FXT-UD5P.
New MObo is a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
When installing the new Mobo, I used the listed chipset drivers on the
enclosed dvd that came with it...I have no other "known" problems with this
install. I am running the latest drivers from Nvidia on the 570HD.

I'm thinking "Driver Sweeper" or similar program and a re-install of the Mobo drivers and Vid card drivers?

Any thoughts appreciated.

[Pudfark]

Fixed:grin:

Uninstalled and reloaded graphics driver and that seems to have fixed it.

I had really hoped to have seen more difference between the GTX570HD and the GTX465....not much difference IMHO....maybe, it will make a more pronounced visual change in game?

Thanx all for taking the time to help.

S!

I would remove any traces of old drivers as they can cause strange problems. For example I was cursing why my TrackIR does not work and in the end it was a driver issue of the GPU. Went back to WHQL and worked like a charm again.

Thanx Flanker....I'm just about to hook up my flight controls and Trackir...and attempt to fly the sim.....Your advice could be very useful:)

This is a good software, but it does not clean all dll. files and such stuff. For a perfect solution use ccleaner first and then use Driver Cleaner Pro!
Both are free software! I use both each time i install a new Catalystversion!

[Pudfark]

I use ccleaner regularly...I recommend it as well.
I used in game default settings (Medium) for graphics and
had a reasonable framerate, according to Fraps....No launcher.exe
error....at least not for the twenty or so minutes that I was wringing
it out....Trackir 4pro worked perfectly...:grin:

Again, Thanx All

Will test more later...and report.
I'm hoping I've got this little booger....fingered out.
