Definitely an improvement for me, BUT:
Now getting more crashes/reboots than pre-patch (where it happened but was fairly infrequent).
Can even happen just while taxiing or when flying over water or countryside/towns.
This is obviously very bad.
Windows records it as an Event 41 Kernel Power error.
I had overclocked my CPU, so I reset it back to defaults - same problem.
Turned off HyperDrive via the ASUS SmartDoctor software.
Increased CPU temp. threshold to 60c in BIOS.
Noticed whilst in BIOS that CPU temp was below 50c, but IOH was 75c, so I don't think it's a temp issue(??).
PSU is rated at 720W, so I'm hoping it's not that.
Lowered graphics settings gradually after each reboot, but still happened with everything low except Model Detail, Damage Decal (both high), Land Detail (medium), roads and shadows on, and grass off.
Any ideas, because it's definitely more frequent since the patch?
BTW I have searched the forum under "reboot" and "crash", but couldn't find any similar problem (at least not without searching some of the larger threads!).
