Cool! I fixed my blue-screen problems (I hope!) when we did a HUGE dust cleanup from the video card fans, CPU fan and heatsink and the PSU. But sadly a new problem has occurred while playing The Sims 2: Open for Business. It read "The Application has crashed and needed to close" OH EMMMM GEEEE!!! What happened this time?? Oh, and to the people who had blank blue-screen crashes I fixed it by cleaning out all the fans in the computer and used compressed air to clean out all the gunk and dirt. " I'm having such a hardware of a day! "

Try getting rid of your video drivers using driver cleaner and reinstalling the latest versions. You might want to update your mobo drivers at the same time. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the game. I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself.

to me it sounds like a windows error. If it happens again than look into it further, but i think u should be fine. p.s. how can you play the sims.... i got bored with it in like 3 days TJ297 All Prices are in Auzzie Dollars =D AMD 3800+ 2 Gig RAM Nvidia 7800GT Thermaltake 430w PSU Antec LAN-boy Case Onboard Sound WOOOOT Surprisingly not bad :p
