I don't think it's just because it's a dell I don't have any problems with dell It just seems like something's not right. Tonight I ran into some heavy weather on fsx(on real world weather) it was like 200ft ceiling and 1/2 mile viability no precipt, and I took off turned towards my destination prob 4,000 ft and the comp just shut it down and showed an error message stating that the comp has run out of memory you need to restart fsx and lower the settings,graphics,scenery,etc. but the graphics aren't even on Max settings and I have no add-ons...that can't be right, can it? I mean it has 16gigs of ram, and my previous comp which was half the system this is never had to shut fsx down and tell me to lower the settings.
