I got AFPD for christmas. I am able to fly any of the slow planes, but when I get into a 3d plane the computer restarts as I am about to take off. I think it is the video card that is the problem. I have a GForce 5700fx video card in my other machine that I can put in there. Here are the specs of the computer, any ideas?
