Windows 10: PC crashing hardware error while playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Hello all,I've been experiencing PC crashes while playing games, mainly MSFS 2024. Often the game crashes itself but sometimes it also crashes my whole PC and I am not sure what's causing the problem. I haven't overclocked my GPU but I have configured the PBO to be negative offset of -20. I have stressed test it before and everything seems to work fine, and since I ran other intensive games and it wasn't causing crashes I thought it would be fine, except for MSFS 2024... I inlcuded the hardware reliabilty report below:SourceWindowsSummaryHardware errorDate‎09/‎03/‎25 19:38StatusNot&n

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 - PC System Requirements

Dear Microsoft,

I am very excited about purchasing the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 in the future, but first, I need to know some further details about the PC hardware the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 needs for the best smooth performance.

As far as I know, the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 will rely mostly on the CPU and VGA, and will use lots of CPU power and lots of graphics card power

How many CPU cores will be used by the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020?

How much megahertz does each CPU core needs to have for the best performance?

Will a GeForce RTX 2070 series graphics card with 8GB Graphics Card Memory be more than enough for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, to play the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 on graphics settings on maximum without loosing performance?

If I have the right PC hardware, would it be possible to play the new Microsoft Flight

Simulator 2020 with the Graphics on maximum without loosing performance?



Kind Regards

Tharanga
