The link provided on the first post just brings me to a page telling me about NAM, but I can't seem to locate the download link/button. EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. I wasn't aware you were supposed to be registered as a member at the lot exchange before downloading.

I did do a clean install in the first place. I have no plugins/cities at all. I guess it must've been the CD then. Time to go shopping.

I've tried to update to build 638, but I get this error during the process: "Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since the file contents do not match." Yet, it continues the update and says "Congratulations! SimCity has been updated with EP1 Updated 1 (build 638)." Is my install broken? Should I get a new CD perhaps? My drivers and everything on my computer for that matter is updated all the way. Only game I have trouble with is Sim City.

Thats what I thought. I've turned off the second processor and I've patched it to slow down for games that aren't Dual Core friendly. Yet it still crashes. Am I doomed to wait for the release of Sim City 5?

I've read around to see if there is anyone with a problem and either I missed it or no one else has had this problem. I built a new computer about 2 months ago and just now decided to re-install Sim City 4 (having all your old cities deleted kind of is disappointing). So, I reinstalled the game (deluxe edition) with no updates or addons and started to play. I picked a region, looked around and the game froze and my actual computer rebooted (I saw a blue screen with some words pop up for literally a split second before my monitor turned off). I'd love to send a screenshot so its easier to understand, but I don't have quick enough fingers for that. Here are my computer specs: Processor: Athlon 64 FX-62 Windsor 2.8 GHz Dual Core RAM: Patriot 2GB DDR2 Video Card: nVidia GeForce 8800GTX 768MB Hard Drive: 250GB Any questions or possible solutions would be great. I'd love to start playing the game again.
