Title: Sims Resetting Post by: Charley on August 11, 2007, 01:50:09 pm Hi, each time i go on my sims the computer will reboot itself when i then turn the computer back on again it then tells me 'the system has recovered from a serious error.' Once i send the error report it says i need to update my Nvidia drivers which i already did not so long ago and it still does the same thing. Once the computer has rebooted itself once its fine and i can go on my sims, but its just annoying that i can be in the middle of a game then it reboots and i lose everything!

There is sticky in the general Sims 2 help with a link to it. Title: Sims Resetting Post by: Charley on August 12, 2007, 07:28:18 am Yeah, thats how i knew that there was a driver update, i have downloaded that and the problem still persists, Do i need to get a new graphics card?

My grafic card (Nvida 6800 ultra) gave up on my. The rebooting started first with the sims and I got the same diagnostic like you. Later it overheated more and more and the pc shuted down just by surfing around, untill the card died.:sad4: That's what I got from not taking care of my pc and not dusting and cleaning. Maybe you can save your card, when you by a bottle of dust remover and spray blow all the dust out off the fans and the whole pc.

Title: Sims Resetting Post by: Charley on August 12, 2007, 01:03:05 pm Gonna try and persuade my dad to get a new computer, but he just bought my little bro a laptop! Will try ''dedusting'' the inside see if that makes any difference, this has been happening for a while.
