Can you zip (or rar) the dbgsession folder for the session where it crashed and upload that. There are susually some clues in there. First guess would be to tone down the overclocking.

CPU not overclocked.

Zipped the folder, but it wasn't visible via the 'upload a file' link so here is a share link:

Yeah, Manu's changing daily what we can upload.

Although zips were never allowed, AFAIR.

Don't you just love acronyms

There are lots of references to the PID.DLL. Have you changed controllers recently at all? Or moved what you already have to different USB ports?

I have a different wheel

 

[Cluck]

Might be worth trying the wheel on a different USB port - eg, if it's on USB 3.0, plug it into a USB 2.0 port (and vice versa). I'll do a bit of digging on the public forum aswell, as I'm sure I've read about the PID.DLL error on there. Failing that, if you post the logs on there then somebody will take a look - there are a few guys there that are really helpful, they look through problem logs regularly

 

[2scoops]

I will try that, if I can find a spare one lol

Really appreciate your help Cluck, thank you

Have changed USB port and so far have not had a crash, will do a proper test tomorrow.

Well I can pack everything I want in a .zip or .rar file. From normal screenshots till maleware or anything else which can hurt our server/website. So every forum which cares a little bit about security (we do a lot, see the https certificate ) won't allow those file endings. Sorry for being overcarefully but 2 IT guys running this show, this had to happen

USB ports can be pretty weird and do weird stuff. My pc has four front side ports, all of them 3.0. Three of them are fine, but if I connect my wheel to the fourth one, it gets recognized as Logitech driving force wheel, no matter what I do... So I just avoid that port like the plaque - to prevent accidental use, I've covered it with duct tape.

Iv had issues with my wheel in usb2.0 ports even tho its a dfgt and it should be in usb2.0 it works better in a usb3.0 it kept turning off randomly then i put it in 3.0 and no issues...
I know that dont help your issue lol but i thought id share that useless bit of info...

It's still crashing, but not as often, just hope it doesn't do it in a race or at the end of qualifying.

Hello all. I'm in the market for a new PSU. The fan on the old one (A Corsair) died. I was wondering whether those in the IT industry have a preferred manufacturer, or have an opinion on anything I should avoid like the plague?

According to this calculator, I shouldn't need more than 500W. I have around £50 to throw at it. Modular would be a plus, but I'm not too fussy. I'm primarily looking for reliability.

 

[m4nu]

Reliability I would recommend be quiet!. I am very satisfied with mine, switched from a no name to be quiet! and since then I am very happy with it

 

[Jonno]

Iv got an evga 500watt power supply got it off scan.co.uk and its bang on for the money i think off the top of my head it was £50 may be more it may be less lol...its quiet 80+ rating...

 

[steveg200]

Thermaltake for reliability.i have been running a 1000w for over five years with no probloems.also got thermaltake in my other computers.

 

[Puffpirat]

Seasonic or be quiet

 

[Cluck]

Ask 50 people for an opinion on power supplies and you can expect 50 different answers .

For what it's worth, I've had no trouble with the BeQuiet power supplies I've fitted in customer systems. Same goes for the mid-range Fractal Design units. Corsair, well, I've had no end of trouble with the basic ones.

 

[Tom]

Thanks everyone, I think I've found a winner.

The unhandled exception error is apparently mainly associated with video driver issues.I need to get a utililit that will totally remove all traces of existing drivers and clean install the latest driver and hopefully this will solve the issue.
