So before everyone goes crazy, I have windows 8 on my computer because that's what it came from on best buy. Anyway, basically fsx has done this for awhile by crashing randomly. Usually when climbing out it says "FSX has stopped working". I hate that and I want to fix it. Here is the error report:

This is too generic. What client are you running? Does it happen always in the same airport or if you try somewhere completely different does it happen as well?

 

Try using the least external programs as possible to avoid something else being the problem. If you're using Squawkbox NEVER run it from within FSX. Always open it externally from the C:\Program Files\... folder.

 

Try with default aircraft and then with different aircraft to see if that might be the issue.

You need to install FSX outside of the programs file in windows 8.

Just like you do for pmdg products
