MS Flight Simulator X + SP1 + FS-X Acceleration Pack - Deep Crash

MS Flight Simulator X with the SP1 patch and the Acceleration pack on top
running on Vista Ultimate and a eVGA 8800GT-512MB card with the latest
official 169.25 Nvidia drivers installed after about 1 hour the entire
machine
locked up, dark screen total freeze. Had to Hard reset. There is nothing in
any of the Vista Event logs to be found.
How is this possible????? Suffice to say this machine is absolutely stable
hardware-wise .....

Service Pack 1 is still Beta....don't trust it not to cause problems
(not saying it is the cause of the above, but don't rule it out).

Did Flight Sim X crash before installing SP1?

This is SP1 for the Flight Simulator not Vista!!!
