When I play the sims 3 it will run smoothly for a little while but then it seems when I switch lots it will go to a black screen, and crash if I don't hit the start button to exit the game. I can play on the new lot for a while but if I say go up to the next level or change a sims appearance it will cut to the black screen.
I do have the graphics turned up quite a bit but I think my laptop can handle it its only 2 weeks old.
here is my graphics information
