blue screen

For what it's worth, you might have a heat problem...some computers are configured to forcibly slow the CPU to a perceptable crawl when the CPU hits critical temperature (to prevent you from damaging your system). You may have inadequate cooling for your machine.

I was thinking that too. This tower is so blasted huge (server tower) I don't think the air is getting to it. I was planning on opening the case later and sitting my fan next to it while I play to see what that does.

There is a whole thread about this on ModTheSims2. http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=117748&c=1&page=1&pp=25
It seems to be an NVIDIA graphics card problem. I am having the same problem as well and I have yet to solve it. Some people have solved it by adding more RAM. I may go that route.
Also a personal observation... Even though some are having this problem with the Pentium4 most of the people that I have noticed with the "Sims Blue Screen of Death" tend to have an AMD64. (I have an AMD64 3200 with a GeForce 6100) I wonder if that is connected???
Niliav:
Well tried the fan thing and it blue screened anyway. Guess I'll continue to wait. :(

Niliav, try the link that Creepy Blackdove 6 has posted, there is someuseful information on page 8, it gives you another link to NVIDIA, something about a patch to fix the problem, hope this helps, I havent tried it, as I have turned down my settings and haven't seen the blue screen for a little while, so I don't want to upset things at present, but if you are still having problems, check out the link it may help
Cheers Marn39
