Blue Screen of Death - Help
lucentgem:
Yeah I've had issues where my game would just quit and my computer restarted and as soon as I cleared my bad content out, everything worked perfectly. It can be so deceiving at times. The weirdest for me is a bad object causing my game to crash when I was trying to shop for clothing for my sims. Go figure lol.

I'm really getting tired of the blue screens. It seems to only happen in the houses that existed before Pets. I can have a house that is decorated to the nines and have no probs as long as the house was made after Pets. My Sims can spend days downtown-most of the time at triple speed with 20 Sims on the lot with no probs-after Pets-it always crashed-I deleted it and put down the same lot(both identical)and I have no crashing probs or less the house I was at before was having probs but I still can get back without a crash. I have a GeForce 6800 and a gig of ram. My husband bought another video card(so I can go dual)and another gig of ram. If that doesn't work than I guess I'll have to go through my 6 gigs of downloads--sob. If anyone finds a bad download--tell us--I'll do the same. I wonder if it is a prob with Pets reading old information on the lots?

Well I said I'd check my driver version and I had to laugh. I'm only at 6.14. :*)

Anyone know if you really need to go back as far as 71.89 ? ... I am pretty sure I was using a more recent driver than that this past summer when I was playing the OFB expansion. I just got Pets Expansion and started playing again when this problem started happening for me. Not BSOD from windows... just a blue screen, then black as if my monitor turns off. Cant Alt Tab out or Window button out. All I can do is restart.
I also play WoW and have recently had to upgrade my vid drivers for that, so trying to figure out if I really need to go that far back on drivers (most recent is the 93.71) or if maybe just one step back might work.
Thanks to everyone for all their input so far, very helpful!
You don't, no. In fact 71.89 won't work with my latest card - I'm using 77.72, which works fine for me :)

There seems to be a different answer to this problem for each person/system.
At the moment I am using Clean Installer to get rid of a bunch of CC that I have, but never use. There really is no point in having it... right? I'm keeping only the stuff I use on a regular basis. And hoping it'll help... a little bit. At least with speed and whatnot.
Oh and I have never been able to have 20 people on a lot and have my game just go screaming fast, that only happens right after I install it and any Exp. packs, with no CC....
I'm going to be getting some new hardware too, as soon as I get my tax return... in a couple weeks. I can't wait! I hope this helps too!!!
When you delete CC using Clean Installer, does it also remove it from your system? Or is that file lurking around somewhere, waiting for you to reinstall the game, and the CC... then WHAM! It shows up again??
