niniendowarrior: My friend is having problem with her Sims 3... I hope someone can pitch in some ideas here. When she fires up the game, it just shuts down the computer. I've done my research with their forums and they suggested to turn on vsync which according to her didn't work. I've also asked her to verify the following:

1. No dust on the cards.
2. Drivers are up to date.
3. GeForce GTX 460 (so I think it should be OK)
4. vsync tip.
5. Doesn't seem to be overheating on normal operation and other games.

So, I'm running out of ideas.

NameGoo: It shuts down the computer? Is anything overheating?
The entire computer... yes. Doesn't seem to be overheating with the monitors she has in place... according to her.

Sachys: Well, we need someone to sneak into the place they keep the internet and disrupt it for at least a day...
It shall take some time to assemble a team skilled enough to do it... any volunteers? Don't worry, I'm sure the guards won't be that heavily armed. 0_0

DyNaer: try this (from the same forum though)

1 - Open the Control Panel (Found through the start button)
2 - Open the Nvidia Control Panel (You may want to use the search tool in the Control Panel for it)
3 - At the top of the Control Panel, select "Advanced Settings"
4 - Select "Advanced"
5 - On the side menu, click "Manage 3D Settings"
6 - Change "Conformant Texture Clamp" to "Use OpenGL specification"
7 - Change "Force Mipmaps" to "Trilinear"
8 - Change "Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization" to "On"
9 - Change "Vertical Sync" to "Force On"

just check it's all paramaters are the same ...

i suggest to make a profile for the .exe if the game isn't the profiles list
I passed on your suggestions. :)

Strange, the only time a game ever made my entire PC shut down was because a rough car ride had knocked the heat sink out of place.

Go to a cemetery and dig one up? Of course, you might need some kind of voodoo to get her to an "undead" state...
