*Possibly resolved--Spontanious reboot
MissDoh:
Ok silly suggestion maybe but did you made sure your power supply is powerful enough for all the stuff you have?
unclesparks:
MisDoh, I got a 550w to power everything and then bought a 350w UPS. D'oh!
Kari, I built my computer from scratch with all new parts, and I had the same problem. Custom built new is only as good as the hardware, software, and builder. And the fickle-finger-of-fate of course. Since you went the SLI route same as me, are there any parts that are NOT SLI compatible? I got the MB, video cards, case, and power supply all SLI compliant. I don't think I got the RAM compliant because it was twice the cost. MisDoh makes a valid point though. SLI requires more power (so they say) and you have very powerful video cards, requiring lots of power.

I'm pretty sure my husband bought a new power supply thing, but not positive. I'll ask him later. He had a headache caused by our monster children LOL and went to bed. I do know he was talking up getting an UPS too, but he hasn't done that yet.
But that makes me wonder. I have most of the graphics settings in the game turned up higher now since I figured the new 'puter could handle it. Could that cause this problem? The refresh setting in the game is still set at 60 too.
BTW, I started the game up again just a little while ago, and it did the same thing. I have no problems in the neighborhood screen, or in CAS. Just while actually playing. At least I can still make clothes and test them. LOL

Update. I ran the crap cleaner, but still having the same problem. So, I'll keep trying stuff. I'm starting to get really bummed. The whole purpose of this new computer is my game.

When I first got my new computer, I had a problem with the game stopping at random points when running Pets. It was some built in nVidia board; I can't remember the model now but it had 256 mb memory. I then pulled my ATI card from the computer that stopped on me, installed it and have had no problems since.
Assuming you can't exchange the vid cards, I'd try stepping back a driver or two rather than the lastest. You might lose some whistles and bells, but you didn't buy that computer to hear a band, but play the game :D
