My desktop runs Win7 and has an AMD quad core with 8GB of RAM. When playing the Sims, the processor will get to 4GB and the computer will freeze,  Task Manager will show 100% processor usage yet another 4GB is still available.  I have never had luck with AMD processors.  My Intel purrs like a kitten on the laptop.  

I've never had issues like that, interestingly enough. No 100% processor usage, just crashing. My computer sounds a bit similar, Windows 8 with an AMD quad core and 8GB of RAM, also. The Sims 3 runs fine most of the time, it just crashes occasionally.

This is my first ever HP. Before this computer I had 15 years of love tolerance for Dell. :P

I don’t run my games in compatibility mode, for what it’s worth. Also, HusbandUnit’s processor is a quad-core and he had to reduce the number of threads or something, but that was a very specific game. Not sure it’ll help you. :/

I googled that and it sounded complicated. I've just been dealing with my crashing issues. The only game that drove me to my wit's end was Bioshock 2, but I struggled through that game with it crashing and corrupting saves the entire way until the end, and still managed to enjoy it somehow.

I follow the tag #Dulfin, because, well, that's my url. But occasionally stuff like this shows up by people who want dolphins instead of sims. Not that I own that name or tag, but it amuses me every time dolphins show up. XD

I figured I'd share my Tumblr crushes. :D

Are you running in Win7 compatibility mode? (I don’t have Win8, so really have no clue)

Yeah, most of my games are set to run in compatibility mode. It doesn't seem to help very much, sadly.

I wish I could help. Both me and my husband have been using Win8 for quite a while now for gaming and haven’t had crashing issues. The one game that kept crashing for him was because of his processor.

Hm, interesting. My processor is just the basic one that came with my computer, an AMD A10-5700. It's a quad-core, that's really all I know about it. It had integrated graphics, but I now have my dedicated card, and that hasn't helped with crashing like I kind of thought it would. 

On the other hand, my friend has the exact same computer as me, with the exact same upgrades that I did to it (Power supply and graphics card), and he says he has zero crashing problems. 

Quadruple rainbow!

Everyone was really sad. ;_;

Layla and Delta were the only two who made it to the bathroom to see Judas die, because the other four chuckleheads got globbed together upstairs.

Layla stood in the bathroom and cried for hours. < / 3
