Title: Sims 3 is running my comp at 100%
Post by: DaSpecial1 on January 02, 2011, 06:13:48 am
This isn't happening with my TS2 games or any other ap.

It wasn't happening until after the last patch so I'm stumped. I noticed in the last week that the game would freeze after about 20 minutes of play. I checked the task manager and saw that the game had my computer operating at 100% which brings everything (including task manager) to a grinding halt.  I'm not the most computer savvy (though I know more than some) and a little help would be great. I've been searching for answers but so far haven't been able to stop this excessive usage so until I solve the issue I'm leaving sims 3 alone. My comp is a bit old but not exactly a dinosaur.  Video card drivers are up-to-date.

Specs:
Xp Professional Sp3
Intel P4 3.20 ghz
Ram 3 gigs
Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT W 1 gig video ram
170 gigs free disk space (out of about 420 total)

Thanks in advance for your help.
