P3D 4.5 crashes to Win 7 reboot

Post by freded »

When I try to run P3d 4.5, with the default scenario and aircraft, it opens for a very brief time (less than 1 second) and then crashes and reboots Win 7.This has happened every time, in spite of uninstalling/reinstalling P3D more times than I can remember, except a couple of times when the scenario and aircraft do load but there is virtually no scenery and all the instruments on the panel are blank.

The aircraft can be made to fly but is uncontrollable and soon crashes to the ground.

I have been struggling with this problem for many weeks and have posted about it before without getting replies that have been helpful. Up until December P3D was operating perfectly normally.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, as I am nearly at the point of abandoning P3D altogether!
Regards,
Mark

Note the time of when a crash happens.

Then, after rebooting, go to Event Viewer (right-click on the Windows icon, select Event Viewer), go to Windows Logs and then Applications, scroll down to the time where the crash happened and find that cases where Prepar3D appears.

What is the "failing module"?

Are you using FSX products (like AI) in P3D (as was mentioned in your previous post)?
viewtopic.php?f=6306&t=133567&p=198371#p198371

Which Add-ons, freeware and payware, are you currently using in P3D?

You could run through all the General Debugging Steps :

Martyson,

Thanks for your reply.

I have just deleted the AI files in ...World\Scenery and restarted P3D.

It started and the instruments were visible on the panel, so I took off, climbed and levelled out. At once P3D crashed and rebooted the PC...

Since this is a 'clean' installation of P3D there are no Add-ons running.

Mark

Martyson,

I'll try all those debugging steps again.

In Windows Logs, the Failing Module is C:\Windows\system32\KERNELBASE.dll. Does this imply that it is corrupted?

Mark, google this string:

kernelbase.dll error

or

kernelbase.dll error p3d

There will be several possible causes and resolutions.
