Issues with T500 Wheel FFB, GAme Freezing, Enduracers Mod

lopsided

Boy do I need some help and ideas. Gentlemen... start your engines!
I started running the Enduracers with my league and have had nothing but problems with my T500 wheel.

Here's what happens: I go over a curb/bump etc. and the wheel vibrates as normal, however, once back on flat pavement it may continue to vibrate and then everything locks up. The game and screen becomes frozen in place. No crash to desktop. Must use Task Manager to kill the game.

I have suspected and checked many things (my system, the mod, my gpu, power anomalies, loose connections) but am now out of ideas.

- All (computer and hardware) drivers are up to date
- All firmware is up to date
- Computer passes all stress test (OCCT, Heaven, Kombuster, FurMark) without error or issue 850 watt PSU/6950 2GB GPU/ i7 2600k
- All temps have been checked and monitored, no overheating of CPU/GPU
- All physical connections are secure
- Game has been reinstalled numerous times, is on it's own drive, Windows 7 64 bit is on it's on drive
- All unnecessary processes are killed prior to running games. It happens when I do this, it happens when I don't.
- I use a UPS to insure no power fluctuations, it's happened with and without the UPS
- I've tried both 2.0 and 3.0 onboard mobo USB connectors as well as a PCI add on card USB connector
- I disabled all in game Plugins, it happens with and without them running (Dashmeterpro & Spotter)
- Windows 7 Event Viewer never shows an error after this occurs, don't know what else could give me a hint IDeas?
- I have not had this happen in rfactor 2 yet however... can't be 100% sure this is a clue as I spend more time running rf1
- Wheel base already has a new cooling fan
- Can happen when I first use it, or after an hour of play. Can't make it happen, it's random and unpredictable
- Happens online and off
- It appears to only happen when using the F1 rim, BUT since it comes and goes I still don't know that for 100%. Testing GT rim now.

At first I thought it was the game or my system, freezing somehow, since the screen freezes along with the wheel. Now I'm not sure, no one in my league has had an issue. As stated above, system passes all stress test.

Ideas? Thrustmaster simply says, plug the wheel into another computer, use the same game and verify. I can't. Call me crazy, I only have one desktop for sim racing.
 
Is the wheel firmware up to date, this is needed for the F1 rim, I believ? Sounds like a wheel driver issue to me, but it could be any kind of system problem also. Crashes can also be caused by plugins, are you running any on rF1?
 
Hi Tim, Thanks for trying to help. All drivers and controller firmware is up to date.
I had an idea the other day and decided to unplug the T500 and run rfactor/enduracers without the controller plugged in. It froze again, so I think I can rule out the wheel causing the crash.
The only plug in I had in the folder at the time was Dashmeterpro so I will remove that and run it again. I'm also going to try rfactor with no mods and see if it freezes as well.
Each test takes days because freezes are intermittent so it's been a long process.

OK I found a thread where someone mentioned making a trace file by adding +trace=4 after the shortcut command line.
here's what i got, trace.txt attached.

can anyone decipher this to tell me what is going wrong?

i simply can not get this mod (enduracers) to run, it freezes the screen, no ctd and i have to use task manager to kill it.
as per my first post, i have done so many things to try and resolve the issue i am out of ideas.
