My computer crashes whenever I start Sims 3. Sometimes it would just restart and my keyboard would be non-responsive until windows boot to the screen where the password should be entered. Sometimes the screen would just blank out and the computer would still be running.
I am not sure what is the problem, I tested the video card in another computer and it works perfectly fine and my computer is not overheating. Could you please assist? I have tried updating video drivers several time, however this does not fix the problem.
