    I am running in Single Player mode. AMS2 keeps crashing on me, any time between one minute into a race, and up to just after a 15-minute race has finished and I'm back to the Drive menu. I get a Bugsplat 'send report' request every time but I can't look in to see any details. I checked Windows EventViewer but there are not any errors logged there at the times the game crashes. Usually the graphics freeze but you can hear the game still running (and my car crashes LOL), the FFB on the steering and the bass shakers are stuck on whatever was happening when the game crashed. A couple of times I've had to reboot to clear it, but usually I can get back to the desktop.

    Windows 10 is up to date, all the latest drivers for both system HW (including the very latest Nvidia drivers), Fanatec 4.51 and latest firmware, latest firmware on pedals. As advised by the AMS2 FB group, I have turned Vsync off in the game, turned off UDP, turned off pit crew, reinstalled everything a couple of times, verified files on Steam, deleted the Documents folder, and I run in fullscreen mode. The CPU, memory and GPU are not overclocked, and the monitoring SW shows the CPU and GPU to be running in the mid 60s C, GPU running up to 94% during the race, CPU never seems to get above 40%. I do not have Content Manager or any mods installed.

    The game crash happens whether graphics settings are ultra or all turned down. I tried running without Crewchief but still got the crashes. I have not yet tried running without Simhub--I have the latest version running to drive bass shakers and LED dash.

    I am not seeing this issue with any other Sim.

    I was able to fix it by changing the DRAM settings in my BIOS. I disabled high bandwidth, low latency and XMP options. I had already run two verifications that confirmed my (brand new) memory was ok. I have no idea which of the options was the culprit, but for now I am just happy to be able to race on my favorite sim again!
