Interesting problem...
Garnet Avi:
I get the same blue screen problem with my ATI Mobility Radeon X1400. The more CC I use, the more often it happens. Stripped down, the game doesn't do it barely at all. I actually had to stop using custom cars because they put to much strain on the system. I know what's causing my problem: the drivers. If this problem gets too serious it crashes my computer, blues screen of death-throws style. The blue screen tells me my atiblahblah.blah driver has crashed.
I can't really do anything about this problem, but I thought it might help someone else to hear about it. And as advice to those of you having a similar problem: watch the CC. Poly counts are a bitch, apparently.

That and the fact that you are running off a laptop, which means your processor may overheat if you don't do some extra cooling. This could also cause slowdowns and crashes. Your card's specs suggest that it should run the game in any case.

I'm on a Dell, which is a warranty replacement for a previous computer that had major overeating problems (I don't seem to have as many problems with this now). The Dell part means that Ati won't support the drivers, and the warranty replacement means I didn't choose it. I know it's not the best thing ever, but it's not like I can impulse-replace anything, being a college student. The Sims is the only thing I really ever have a problem with. I only have one computer, after all.
Simergy:
It definitely sounds like the Nvidia problem.
I have that video casrd, too. My system does that hour glass thing all the time.
I found if I put TS2 in a window, it wouldn't crash my computer, which it did often.
As far as I know, that's the only solution.

Well rolling back to my previous drivers seemed to fix the blue screen issue. But it's hard to tell because unfortunately I don't get to play long before it crashes. >:( I never thought about playing it in a window instead of full screen, I'll try that next and see if it helps.
Thanks everyone :)
