It might be worth opening the case and giving everything a good clean with a vacuum cleaner and a brush. I did this myself a while back after a similar issue. I also unplugged the memory sticks, graphic card etc and re-assembled everything. Worked a treat since. At your own risk of course!!

I had this problem (sound still playing, but FSX frozen), too. For me it helped upgrading all drivers, including more obscure things like motherboard chipset drivers, network card drivers, sound card drivers, etc.
Now I can no longer reboot Windows 7 without freezing it (shutdown still works fine though), but the FSX problem is finally solved :) The problem with reboots even survived the upgrade to Windows 10, but I downgraded again. But as they say: YMMV ... and make backups ... |

Hi Guys having the same problem sound but a frozen game usually happening when I am bout to land, now I save the flight at mid flight or just before descending, then got out of the flight and the game, reboot the game and go back to where I was in the flight. I just had my computer worked on he put more memory in as I had run out of memory to play the game, and now FSX freezes on me.

Last time I added memory I had to manually select a slightly slower memory timing in the BIOS settings, automatic configuration selected something that wasn't completely stable.
Try checking your memory with memtest86 or memtest86+. |
