Yet another Xplane crashing on startup post

Question

Forgive me, I know there are a lot of posts like this, but I've been through so many of them and nothing has worked for me.

I just can't get Xplane 11 to start up. I'd had it running fine for weeks, then just one day it wouldn't start up. It will get to the load screen, will start loading, then crasesh around the "will read airports" phase. Screen turns black briefly and I get the crash reporting dialogue.

As far as I know nothing changed on my system between it working and not working, no new airplanes or plugins or scenery, no updates, no updates to windows or graphics drivers. I've been through so many posts of users who have had the same issue, but it looks like it can happen for multiple reasons and I'm not sure what is affecting me. I have tried reinstalling Xplane itself, verifying game on steam, removing all extra plugins, airplanes, scenery, deleting settings file to reset it, made sure all drivers on my computer is up to date, doing clean reinstall of graphics drivers. Only option I can see left is to wipe computer and start everything from the beginning, but obviously I would rather not do that.

I've copied and pasted the log file in a comment below. I struggled to make sense of it so hopefully someone has an idea, because this is driving me nuts.

Hi bubblychunks

I'm not with Laminar Research, just a fellow simmer in the UK.

Firstly I note that your XP11 version is from Steam and not LR directly. With that in mind, you are actually in the wrong forum, you should refer you problem back to Steam instead

However, having said that, I was recently corresponding with another simmer in Africa who had exactly the same problem as you, namely his PC completely crashed (BSOD - blue screen of death), whilst XP11 was in the process of trying to load all of the basic custom & default scenery files.

In that simmer's case, the problem was related to hardware in that his PC memory modules had to be moved into different motherboard slots!

Now I'm not suggesting that the issue in your case relates to the memory modules, but it could be associated with a hardware fault of some sort?

Questions/Observations

1. When you state that your PC 'crashes', do you mean that XP11 crashes back to desktop (CTD) or do you literally mean that it crashes to the point of having to be rebooted?

2. In terms of PC specification, I note from your Log.txt file that you are operating Windows 10 64 bit, which is fine. You also have around 17GB of RAM memory, which seems rather an odd number to have? Normally you would have 8GB, 16GB, 32GB or 64GB, not 17GB which appears out of place? Anyhow, in terms of sheer RAM, this would be enough.

3. I also note that you have a NVIDIA Geforce GTX1070 8GB graphics card, which is more than adequate for XP11, the same one I use actually!

4. As far as your CPU goes, it is an Intel i7 7700HQ running at 2.8GHz. The minimum frequency for a CPU is stated as 3.0GHz, with the recommended being 3.5GHz. Your CPU may therefore be borderline?

5. Another important consideration is the power supply unit (PSU), which for your graphics card, requires a 500W PSU at least! Please confirm?

With all of the above in mind, you may wish to consider downloading a small piece of software from https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Software which will 'stress test' your PC and advise on the webpage, how your PC performs after quite a number of tests?

Can't think of anything else just now, but hope this helps for the moment?

Regards
