On Another Planet
I already made a thread about this but nobody posted in it and I seem to have lost it, so here goes round two.

I have a fairly high end PC that I built myself around a year and a half ago. It can run most scenarios and planes fine at close to max settings. The one thing I seem to have troubles with is clouds. No matter what plane I am in, my PC always ends up crashing after I switch views a few times when there are clouds present. I am not sure why this is but I would love to find out, because it has grown really really annoying. Can anybody shed some light on this?

My Specs are as follows-
Antec 1200 case
ASUS Rampage Formula motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 OC'd to 3.4 GHz
EVGA Nvidia GTX260 Core 216
G. Skill 8 GB DDR2 1066 MHz RAM
X-fi Titanium Fatal1ty sound card
Corsair 750 watt power supply
Samsung 22 inch Touch of Color LCD monitor
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
 
You've got the right equipment. Have you checked each memory stick independently? I have a Q9550 at 3.8 and it runs FSX and PNW beautifully with the MSI 260GTX. I'll keep checking back on ya

No Ted, I have not tried all of them seperate. This computer has had this problem as far as I can remember so it is not something that has come up recently.
 
You could have one bad memory stick that has constantly plagued you.

Have you checked operating temperatures for your CPU, MoBo, and GPU?

Overheating might be the problem.
