found this which is a better explanation of what i said about sims 3
as for the drivers do a full uninstall of the drivers you had and also some people seem to have luck disabling one of the video cards instlling the drivers then renabling the card and install for that one.

another thing that can cause it is a power supply that is not up to the task , rule that out by taking one card out and seeing what happens.

xfire is black magic i swear :)

Also when i d/l the 10.2 drivers for ATI .. seems to give an application install error .. but if i take away the TECHNOLOGIES in the path name .. it goes through .. but when i restart it .. my comp keeps shutting itself off so i have to restore it to when the comp worked. its weird. so what you are saying is go into the electronic arts folder in my documents .. then click sims 3 folder and delete everything in it and start the game??

BUT if you are doing it froma clean format it may not be that. it may be acting up because of the xfire setup so go grab the 10.2 drivers from ati AND the applications setup http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp driver sfor xp and applications profiles. there isnt one for xp but that *should* work. give that a try and see how you go ok
