Hi, I have done all from the modthesims help articles before posting this thread and so far nothing has worked.

Ages ago, my graphics card was very subpar but still managed to run the sims 3 with no problems (just shoddy graphics which didn't bother me at the time) my boyfriend gave me his old graphics card and it is a AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series (Sapphire/PCPartner).. no idea if that is good or bad but when he put it in, my graphics were a lot better and I had a fun time playing. This was until my computers power supply could no longer function my graphics card, so I recently brought a new one (sorry I do not recall the name but it was $80 so it wasn't that expensive..) anyway, I put it in and downloaded some CC to play my game for tomorrow (I installed it rather late). Long story short, my game was freezing.

Deleted the cache files, no dice.
Ran without CC, no dice.
Uninstalled then reinstalled, no dice.

However, after reinstalling I was able to patch to the current 1.37 and could get into riverview without crasing, made a sim, then tried to move her in and boom, crashed.

Here is my dxidiag report:

I also did upgrade my mods (I use a lot of Nraas mods) and I changed my graphics and resolution down (even though it ran smoothly will all on high) and still nothing.

Did the DEP thing, nothing.

Please help if you can :)
