Hey.

I'm running Flight Simulator X with Flight Simulator X Acceleration installed on Windows 7 84 bit but after around 30 minutes of playing the game the game freezes and the busy pointer appears and after a minute or so flight simulator x shuts down and says 'A Fatal Error Occurred' then after a minute of that being on the screen it restarts fsx. How can I stop this?

I run FSX on high graphics and get a smooth frame rate (Average 30fps)

Specs:

AMD Phenom II Triple Core Mobile Processor P820 (1.8GHz, 1.5 MB L2 Cache)

4GB Memory

320GB Hard Drive

AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics

I should also point out I don't know much about computers.

Head over to AVSIM.com and ask in the FSX forums they have. There are a bunch of good guys there that can help you out.

FSX isn't on Steam, but thanks anyway.
