no longer a crash to desktop,just crashed and will not come back,hoping its a  power pack thats gone,without damge to rest of pc,fingers crossed.
i had just managed a flight of some 3.5 hours in cs130j from kbfi to paed,when the pc just went to black screen and would not boot backup.
alarm clock also showed signs of a power inturupt,and i had to reset that,but nothing else in the house was effected.
