Sorry for double posting, but I didn't know if this thread would be updated otherwise. I have a new problem.
I completely removed the Sims 2 folder so the game would generate a new one. I then started a completely *vanilla* game with a new family in Strangetown and used the Motherlode cheat to redecorate their fugly house. As I was adding furniture, carpet, etc., the screen would either flicker or the walls woud go down! I've never, ever had that happen before -- not even when my previous game was crashing!
I have a five-month old gaming rig. Is my graphics card suddenly failing, or should I roll back to the old video drivers? Is this totally unrelated to my crashing problem? Aaaaaarrrrrghhhh!!!!
It's possible. My rig was less than a month old when the video card started dying. Rolling back to the old drivers shouldn't hurt any.
What video card do you have? What temp is it running at?
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ GPU-Z is a nifty little program for tracking temp over time.
I have an ATI Radeon HD 3870 x 2. I ran one GPU sensor, but I don't think it's accurate: it says my video card temp is only 32 degrees Fahrenheit. I'll try the one you recommended.

32F? That would be great! :)
My card started flickering and displaying pink artifacts while playing TS2 at first. It got progressively worse very quickly.

I tried the program you recommended and it said 42 degrees Celsius. When I researched it, I found anything under 125 degrees Celsius is supposed to be fine. I'm so confused. :-\ Pes, where the hell are you? :D

I don't think you want your card running at 125. As for operating temperatures, mine is operating at -58 C, which is much better.

One tool read the temp at 0 degrees Celsius, the other at 42 degrees Celsius. I don't know which one is right. Do *you* know a reliable GPU sensor that works with Vista? (And yes, I know you think Vista sucks. ;D)
