Blue Screen When Playing Sims 3
If you experiencing blue screen, or freeze then crash, you should check your VGA Driver. If it’’s NVidia, then all you gotta do is updating the driver to the newest update.
I got this helpful tutorial from MTS, and after following the tutorial, my blue screen problem has dissapeared.
Here’’s the step by step:
1. Download the drivers from the here. Save them somewhere you can find them on your hard drive, like your computer’’s desktop.
2. Make sure you read any instructions on the driver download page.
3. Save any open documents and close any other running programs.
4. Go into your computer’’s Control Panel (Start - Control Panel). Double-click the System icon, and then click on the Hardware tab in the panel that comes up. Then, click on the Device Manager button.
5. In the Device Manager, click on the + next to “Display adapters” to expand that category. You should see a little monitor icon, and your graphics card listed.
6. Right-click on the entry for your graphics card and choose Uninstall. Follow the prompts to uninstall your graphics drivers.
7. You will need to restart your computer when it is finished uninstalling.
8. Once your computer comes back up you will likely get some popups and dialogs about new hardware - your computer is detecting your graphics card and that it doesn”t have drivers. Cancel any of these that come up.
9. Run the beta driver install that you saved previously.
10. Restart your computer once the new drivers are installed.
11. When it comes back up, try running the game and seeing how it performs.
Hope it works for you too.
