Blue screen error 0x00000116 (only happens when playing Sims 3)

I've just bought the Barnacle Bay Adventure and Hidden Springs for Sims 3. But now after I play for 5-10 minutes I get this 0x00000116 bluscreen error. Why do I get this and how can I fix it? Is it to do with one of the worlds I've downloaded? 

Btw I have already tried uninstalling and re-installing the game but that didn't work =/. I've also tried with just the base Sims game (that did work). It's just annoying buying two add ons and not being able to play them... =/. 

Any help would be great 🙂.

    Hi rembugs,

    This usually has to do with your video card. Old and incompatible drivers can and do cause issues with Windows 7, often giving false error codes.

    Please update your video card driver to the latest version.

    Let us know if that helped!

    Thanks,

    Ursula
