Can Sound Errors Cause Game to Crash?

Actually this started happening before I installed BV, so I do not think it has anything to do with the newest EP.
Seasons had the same video crash issue, it was resolved with last patch that came out in July though.
Anywho...
I installed the beta drivers Nvidia has on their website. I knew it wouldn't fix the audio clipping but I was hoping it would help with the crash. So far the game is running a bit more stable, but I haven't had a chance to really run it through any heavy tests yet. I haven't gone to a vacation lot yet.. that test will be today.. whee.. tests. Nothing beats paying for something that puts me back into troubleshooting mode. @#$ if I liked to troubleshoot I wouldn't have quit my last job.. @#$#.

But all the other problems I've been reading about, specifically relating to BV, are what's made me wait. This EP doesn't fire me with that much enthusiasm at the moment, I was never that keen on Vacation when I played Sims1 either, and I can wait for the new custom content etc. My sims in my present game can only just afford the essentials, holiday abroad can wait awhile!
The only reason I get the expansions is for the interactions and little supernatural extras such as the werewolves, vampires and plant people. But Bon Voyage offers a little more than just visiting new lots, there's the secrets like finding Big Foot.. finding the ninja.. the witch doctor.. and learning new interactions during vacations. Of course to be honest, the new Insimenator is out and I can just use that to get the sim to pick up everything without ever having to leave the lot heh.

93 version driver is pretty old--You might try the drivers at Guru3d.com. I believe your card was on the list. Run a search based on your card....

I'm still having the nVidia crashing issues as well. GeForce 7800 on my machine, and the newest beta drivers (163 or 164 I think, I'm not at home to check right now). The driver nVidia put out for Seasons fixed the problem, but BV messed it up again. The beta drivers seem to work a bit better- I can play for longer now, and I don't always get the game's BSoD, but now I'm having the same kind of crashing that you are describing where the moniter just falls asleep randomly like a narcoleptic. Nothing else on my comp has been changed except for the video driver. As far as the game itself, I haven't changed anything other than installing the EP and the fix for the tour guide spawnage. I'm considering switching to the 93 driver ZZ mentioned. Is that driver only for the 7600, or can I give it a shot?
Process Denied:
I have the problem of my monitor going to sleep but it is intermittent, and it doesn't happen during the game, it only happens when I am starting my computer. I have 2 GForce 6800 XT and since the new drivers I haven't had one video glitch or blue screen--Thank God. Mine started happening after I got a new monitor. Can't seem to find the problem. I think this Problem is probably more of a hardware problem than a game problem--Mine didn't correspond with any new Sims release.
KatEnigma:
I wouldn't blame BV. Or Nvidia.
Like I said, I have an ATI card. And my computer has been doing it off and on since at least Pets. ::)
