Is there a fix for the blue screen of death?
doren:
The old NVIDIA driver 7.7.7.2 (build June 2005) works for me and many other people. No more blue screens or endless loading and it shows all the graphical effects that some other people report as missing. It is an old driver but it is doing its job just fine.
It does not work with 7xxx NVIDEA cards but you got a 6600 GT (like me), so you could try this (if you find it, I don't know whether it is still available).
ZephyrZodiac:
My game crashed a couple of times recently. No blue screen, just straight to the desktop and generating a sims2exception both times. I haven't really figured out why, the amount of RAM being used couldn't have been anywhere near the max (I have 2gigs) as last time it was the first lot I played after opening the game - small lot, one sim just back from Uni. Happened when she was having a date with her boyfriend and somehow it seemed to get stuck at the dream date stage and when I clicked on End the Date it just crashed. The only other thing is, I think both times the crash happened the object I clicked on was at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, probably just where the Avast! icon is lurking underneath.....

"Is there a fix for the blue screen of death?" Yes: never own a computer. :)
You don't list what driver you're using. I would try the 163.75 at guru3d.com, if you haven't yet. I too was having the ramdom crashing until I found the driver stash at guru. Guru = good. Try it.
And yes! Simmies belong on a high res LCD screen. I went from a hi res CRT to an Asus LCD--the difference was incredible!
So, does the guru3rd.co work?
