Alright, I will tell this story from the beginning, it is long, and possibly boring. Brace yourself.
It all began a few days ago when I installed pets. I had these icky walls that flashed black and red. I imagined it had something to do with my custom content, which I had disabled from the beginning. I went back, deleted my custom content, and tried again. Icky black and red walls stayed. I reinstalled everything, but that didn't work either. After searching the BBS, I found that my video card wasn't up to par. Today, I went and got a new video card, an ATI Raedon 9550. I started up the Sims 2, (with pets) and it worked beautifully. No more icky black and red walls. Plus, the images were clear and sharp. After 10-15 minutes of playing, my game crashed. I shrugged it off, and retried the game. Again, after 10-15 minutes of playing, the game crashed again. With some help from my dad, I disabled my old video card. That didn't help. (My custom content wasn't put back yet.) I went back to the BBS, and one person suggested that I lower the settings on my game, if they were too high. I lowered my settings, because they were all on high, and played for close to 45 minutes before my game crashed. I retried it just now, and the game crashed within 5-10 minutes of playing. My game has NEVER crashed before without reason, like this. I have no idea what to do...
What's wrong with my game/computer, and how can I fix it?
