Get often Blue Screen on SIMS 3 [ Edited ]

[MeaW94]

While I'm playing with SIMS 3, I get bluescreen.

Its not always at the same point of the game. It happens randomly but it occurs always.

The game is very fluent (it doesn't freezes or else), but suddenly crashes the PC

The error I get is:

BCCode : 10000050

BCP1 : E243B000

BCP2 : 00000001

BCP3 : BF04963F
BCP4 : 00000001

OSVer : 5_1_2600

SP : 3_0

Product : 256_1

I have Win XP SP 3

85GB free on the HD

1.78GHz clock CPU Pentium

2 GB RAM

Blue screens are usually hardware related.

Is your computer getting really hot ?

[MeaW94]

no, it's not getting hot.

Fan was also cleaned to try to prevent this issue

But it still there

I can't find anything, searching with the error code I posted :-/

[crinrict]

Your computer is pretty low in specs so your probably putting a lot of strain on it by playing the game.

Have you run a hardware check ?

[MeaW94]

Yes but it seems that I got the minimum requirement.

Thus it shouldn't crash.

before I used another computer with the same specs, and the game never crashed :-/

[crinrict]

You didn't post your graphics card and minimum requirements are for base only. 2 GB of RAM is just not enough for Sims 3.

Blue screens are serious and I would run a hardware check.

[MeaW94]

The graphic adapter is an Intel 945 GM Express Chipset Family

The cmputer is an Acer Aspire 9410Z

[crinrict]

Did the hardware check come up with any indications what could be wrong ?

[MeaW94]

yes I checked it and everything is in order ....

[crinrict]

So I googled your message and that's what came up for me (certain things may be different for you cause the error occurs at a different place but it's basically your blue screen)
