Windows Stop Error

    I've had Sim City Rush Hour since Feburary.  The game played smoothly for me with no problems but then after I replaced my old graphics card with a Gefore 6600 LE I kept getting the Windows Stop Error.  When I select a region the game reboots my pc after five minutes.  I've tried updating DirectX, my graphics card, my sound card, Sim City, Windows but I just can't get it to work anymore.

    My Specs when the game was working:
    1GB RAM
    Pentium 4 2.6Ghz
    Geforce 5600 FX 128Mb

    My specs now
    1GB RAM
    Pentium 4 2.6Ghz
    Gefore 6600 LE 256mb

    I've also tried even more demanding games like Quake 4 and Oblivion.  Had no trouble there.  I also have the same problem with Chronicles of Ridick aswell, which is ironic cause it came with the new graphics card.  But anyway my top priority is to get Sim City Rush Hour working again.

    Thanks.

    Welcome, Bubz. For what it's worth, I recently replaced a 5500oc 128mb with the 6200oc 256mb. I didn't get any errors, but the game started running extremely slow and some other weird glitches came up that I never had before. I posted on the forum, got a lot of advice, followed it all, but nothing really helped. Personally, I don't think the 6000 series cards "like" SC4. Check out the Bugs and Tech Issues Forum and run a search on video cards, etc, and you may find some of the advice given may rectify your situation. Good Luck! (I'll be following this thread to see if anything helps my problems as well.)
