Like the title says my game keeps freezing for a couple of minuets, i have tried all the regular fixes being posted, i have even re-installed the game deleting everything to start over but its still happening, anyone got any ideas why it would still be happening?

 

I have:

 

Sims 3
Late Night
Ambitions
Supernatural
Seasons
Island Paradise
Into the Future
High-end Loft Stuff
Town Life Stuff

 

I know my PC can more than handle it so its not that. Any help you can pass this way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

PC Specs:

Windows 7 Pro 64bit

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T 3.30GHz

RAM: 8GB DDR3

GPU: ATI HD 6950

Motherboard: Asus Crosshair IV Formula

PSU: 750W (I forget the brand)

Check if your graphic card is properly recognized by the game:

Looks ok too.

 

Are you using custom content or mods ? Did you completely delete the user folder and let the game create a new one when you started fresh ?

Puzzling.

 

Are your drivers updated ? How much disc space do you have left ?
