AFPD keeps crashing computer
 

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?

Your computer is more than adequate to run AFPD because AFPD runs fine on my much slower and inferior PC with Windows XP Home Edition and old GeForce2 MX 400 video card. Maybe you need to download the latest patch for AFPD.
