HELP!! my computer screen keeps going black when i play games :(

My computer screen goes black whenever i try to play stuff like sims 3, counterstrike, and other games like that. before november 6th give or take a week or two, I could run games fine. I have:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU
E2180 @ 2.00GHz
2.00 GHz, 2.87 GB Of Ram,
Nvidia Gforce 9600 Video card.

what is wrong? I have updated the drivers on my video card and changed the setting so it allows the 3d application to decide what is needs to run it but the screen goes black and the audio freezes, and i have to shut the computer down.

There is probably something wrong with the card. You updated the drivers
after the problem ,,right.

You have 3GB ram so that is ok. Your cpu and video card are just fine,
so the most possible would be the card is failing.

I have posted a stability test and a benchmark/ stress test for you to check the card, download the one for your OS, xp, vista.

If the card is going, it will act up when you test the card.

The Sims 3 town life stuff is installed but wont load?

Your PC is not supporting this game. Please update your Display or Graphics Driver and try.

If game still doesn't load it means your pc is not supporting the minimum configuration which Sims 3 game required

Red screen sims

maybe its a software conflict? have you tried closing all other background tasks? then maybe its a graphical error. If not its your sims 3 stuff.

Screen always went black

Go with the lowest graphic settings for the game and see if maybe its not taking to the graphic settings. Go with the lowest one and as you see its working with no problems then go ahead and keep raising the graphic settings until you get to one that is giving you the problem and then stick with the next lowest one from that.

Also if your not playing an original disc for the game but a copied one then that could be another reason your running into problems cause I saw the release date for gran turismo 5 for 11-27-09 so it could be that if your playing a demo it could be buggy or a beta version would also be buggy.

Anyway just a couple of things to try anyway. Let me know how it goes and I'll help you further.
