Is this a Nvidia issue or something else?

Gethane you rock!  That fixed my problem.  However, it broke my cut scenes, the sound play but with no video.  However I can live without them.  They get on  your nerves after a couple of times anyway.

And JM, thanks for your err contribution :D

angelyne:
Sorry to ressurect this thread.  I find that ever since I made these changes, my computer has been locking up when playing the sims.  It seems to occur randomly, but when it does, the computer becomes competely unresponsive, and I need to do a hard reboot.

It seems to happen once a playing session on average.

Has this happened to anyone?

I've updated the drivers and am about to redo my settings. I played all day with the default (blurry) settings and the computer has not locked up.

Overheating, perhaps? That'd be my guess if it's apparently random.

angelyne:
I've updated the drivers but am still experiencing problems.  Except now, instead of just locking up, the error gets trapped.  The error is something along the lines of "Your graphics adaptor has experienced an internal error.

Since overheating was a possibility, I monitored temperatures.  The default threshold for core slowdown is set for 145C.  The highest temperature I saw was around 68C, well below the threshold.  So I don't think it's overheating.

RAM? Run a memory test? Reseat your RAM after cleaning the contacts with an ERASER.
