Do you know what chipset your motherboard has? Also, do you have any other pci/isa cards in your computer? x) hhhmmm, i have a gigabyte mainboard (GA-7ZX,(rev. 5.0), I have a supraMax 56I modem pci card by blue sonic, and the error causes my computer to re-boot instantly i don't know how to get that info. I have no other problems with my pc, or other games...i have all of the sims games, making magic on down they all work. My motherboard has a via VT8363/skt133/km133, but it says it's a kt133 via chip-set. Other than that the only other thing is the nvidia graphics card, Geforce FX 5200.

As you can see there are allready quite a few posts with TOO LITTLE information in order for us to help them properly. Also for anyone else posting a problem please let us know what kind of computer you have, what type of video card, how much ram, what type of sound card (that means 'On Board sound' or a seperate sound card ..IE soundblaster audigy etc). We cannot help if all you tell us is the game goes all funny what do I do??!!!!! so if you have posted allready please provide the info I just asked for and you will have more chance that someone will help. thanks S Hello everyone, I also have bought this sims 2 for my pc. And everyday since christmas have been re-running, upgrading, checking, downloading and re-installing so many things i just wanna throw my computer away. Nothing and i mean nothing has worked. I can start the game and pic the scenerio to play but as soon as the screen gets to the neighborhoods and it's time to play, i keep getting a blue screen that says my nvidia fx 5200 graphics card is causing an error, something about a physical memmory dump. SO FRUSTERATED!!!!! and of course i e-mailed ea games tech support, im on the 4th day with no response....where are they?, why did they make this game if they aren't going to post the updates? I am running windows XP (service pack 2) 512 mb ram, A NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, with and authentic AMD athlon thunderbird 1000 Mhz cpu. I also have a creative sound blaster pci on board sound. P.s. All hardware has been upgraded. Even the bios for the main board. I don't understand, if anyone can help plz let me know.
