Anita, its posible you don't have enough RAM. When the game is running, tab back and go to task manager. How much memory is the game using? Mine uses between 600-900MB depending on the lot I'm on. I have 2GB RAM so its not an issue but if I have something running in the background and my processor is being stupid I can get the same thing. I have dual nVidia GeForce7600GS 256MB video cards and have never had a driver issue or any problems that others have reported. Granted, I never added Seasons, so maybe I will if I ever get it.
Its entirely possible that RAM is not the problem though, in which case I may not be able to help you. What ep do you have?

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.

Kari,
When I rebuilt my computer a few months ago I had the exact same problem. I could play for seconds or hours and *wham!* reboot. The problem persisted for several days and then went away and never came back.
I'm trying to think. I thought it was the video cards doing it. I have dual BFG Geforce cards (256MB RAM each) and one was bad when I got it and I had all sorts of problems getting them to work in tandem, but I think that ultimately it was a bad USB port that was causing it (short maybe?). I got a 1.1 usb light on a flexible cord a job expo and it worked great, but when I filled up the other 3 usb ports with flash drives and my dvd burner the computer went berzerk. When I removed the light and only used certain ports the problem stopped.
It may have been purely coincidental that it behaved at the same time I removed it, but check your USB ports and remove everything and see if the problem persists. If not, then add them back until it comes back and you'll know where the problem is. If it persists without anything in the usb ports, then i don't think I can help you on this Kari.
Good luck.

I use word and leave gaps for where the pictures will go and then insert the URL when I've uploaded the pictures and just copy-paste it and post. I like the cell borders and stuff though. Much prettier.
Great story! Love the characters. Sampled too much of his lemonade...
