Game doesn't launch again, error with graphic card

Two or one years ago i was playing on this laptop with no issues, I wanted to install the sims 3 again and suddenly i have error every time that the game doesnt recognize my graphic card. I changed some things in two files, graphics card& rules, It didnt worked at first, then i reinstalled my game, did it again and it worked but then after 3 times loading into the game the error appared again. I tried reinstall, changing the files again but nothing works this time. I don't have anything in file DeviceConfig. Ive also tried gpu add on, smooth patches, repairing the game from ea app also didnt worked, reinstall as well. I dont know what to do anymore

    Pluto4_s​  Your dxdiag shows that your graphics driver is crashing, or one of them anyway, and this is also causing BSODs.  (I don't know whether you're seeing the BlueScreens, but regardless, they are in fact happening.)  So please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of the Nvidia driver, as described here:

    This is the latest driver Nvidia offers for your GTX 1050 mobile:

    Please also uninstall and reinstall Sims 3, so you remove anything you've added to the game's program files and revert any changes.  It's best to get the game running again without any extras first, then add one utility or one set of mods at a time.  That includes whatever mods you've been trying to use that require the Mono Patcher, which crashed as well and, last I checked, is still not completely stable.  I'm not saying you can't use it, only that when you DO add it, do so to a game that's currently working, so you know right away if it's introduced any issues.
