Crashing to desk top

Hello,
I resently bought a new comp and wanted to fire up ED again after allmost a year without playing. First day it worked fine, but now I keep crashing to desktop after a few minutes flying around. It seems only to happen in super cruise. When CTD I get a message that says «Lost connection to the controller» or somthing like that. I don’t use a controller, but HOTAS from CH Products. I don’t know if the problem is with ED or Oculus. I can’t think of anything that I might have changed in game after the first day.
Anyone know how to fix it?
My rig is below.
Cheers,
EB

Assuming everything works fine (obviously this is not the case) You should rule out possibilities so:

  • does it happen with another game
  • does it happen if you don't use vr
  • does it happens if I run benchmarks
  • is my pc hot?
  • does this happen using standard settings (not just game settings but also no overclocking mem/gpu/cpu)

Turn off overclocking and ram boost resolved it for me and the latest Windows version screwed with my old ch PRO thruster ;)

Thx for the reply.
I don't play without vr and it only happens in super cruise after couple of minutes. Inside stations and bounty hunting in rings np. I was in rings when I started playing again and had no problems at all. Next session was fine until i went to SC.
All setting are stock

Regarding random controller dropouts, make sure your USB port has enough power for your HOTAS. Shouldn't make the game crash though.

I've also heard that ED is quite sensitive to overclocked GPU's, I'm running an old toaster myself but if your GPU is dynamically changing its clock speed by default, try turning this feature off (or tune it down if possible) and see if it helps. I believe they call it GPU Boost, can someone correct me on this?

I'm using an i-5 k overclocked from 3.4 to 4.2, with an RTX 2060 - overcooked to 1710 (dynamically).
Runs quite happily at 120fps+ - though there's a minor slow down just on enterering interstellar supercruise. It's worse in the galactic core.
I've not had any CTDS with this system.
What happens if you turn all the settings to minimum? I found that the motherboard graphics (!) Managed 20fps+, so my 2060 is only running at 45% for 120fps...

Do you have any background processes taking lots of CPU power? Or a virus checkepr scanning your files as they load?

As above, if you can check the power supply voltages, and the temperatures, it may show a problem.

Edit for correction of autocorrect.
Thought from this morning - another game I have started having CTD regularly, eventually solved by verifying the game files, on starting, it re-installed the visual c files - now there's no problem.
Lastly, does your motherboard have built-in graphics? If so, check that they are bios deactivated and the drivers to the mb graphics deleted.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the input. I'll try some of them out when I get the chance. Too much RL work atm to dive in to it. Dexatron got in touch and could help me if I let him take over my computer, for free. When googled, one of his happy customers on his business site was a 102 old dead dude from Nova Scotia. I might be paranoid, but I politely declined the offer :)



Cheers,
EB
