While I was playing The Sims 2, my computer froze and restarted. This has happened many times and at first I thought it was because of the Windows update. Then I received this error:
SYMPTOMS
You may receive one of the following Stop error messages:
STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
CAUSE
This issue might occur if the display driver is caught in an infinite loop while it waits for the video hardware to become idle. This issue typically indicates a problem with the video hardware or that the display driver cannot program the hardware correctly.
Does this mean I need a new graphics card? If so, what is a good one that I can buy for not a lot of money? Btw.. I currently have nvidia GeForce 6100

Oh. And I already updated my driver. The latest one was from September 28.

Try downloading the latest nVidia drivers and update it, also if you have XP, reapply DirectX9c
