Same problem here. You are not alone, tifaia! Although I can sometimes go for a while before this happens, this soft crash can occur randomly during gameplay, or while saving, which corrupts the saved game and necessitates reverting to a backup saved game, as I mentioned in another post. It is super annoying either way.
I will try the following and report back if it happens again:
*Update DirectX by locating the DirectX End User Web Installer at Microsoft.
*Update .NET Framework 3.5
*Update C++ End User Runtime
I have tried the obvious - ran defrag, checked/repaired disk errors, virus scanned, disabled startup items, made sure only basic Windows services were running in background, uninstalled virus scanning program, blah blah, ad nauseum. Nothing helped. System is hand-made by me. Have not experienced problems like this with a game before on this machine. Video card has been upgraded since then. However, good to note that Sims 3 did this before and after the video card upgrade. I didn't upgrade the video card for performance, but rather because I prefer ATI GPUs over Nvidia. So no, I wasn't having graphics card issues.
