[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 930139, member: 56379"] If this were my computer, before I would conclude that there is a hardware problem...I would do a fresh/clean install of the OS. Over time you may have installed various applications (you mentioned the problem started after installing Sims 3), misc. programs such as widgets, and other system personalization or user optimization programs that may not be "playing" nice with each other. Some people find reinstalling the OS to be a big deal...to other folks like me, it's absolutely no big deal....I would do it in a heart-beat. If after a fresh install of the OS the problem still persists...then we might have to sadly conclude that the problem may be hardware based. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
