@roberta591 Thank you for your suggestion. I have no idea about dedicated memory. Can you recommend any dedicated memory card I can purchase? I played on this computer for almost a year and this never happened prior. Not sure why all of a sudden this would happen.
If you get a video card there will be dedicated video memory on the card. The video card with it's own memory should help the game performance.
OK thank you!! Any suggestion on what video card to buy?
@magiconearth To recommend a specific card is tough. A mid range gaming card will run about $150 USD. Depending on the card you may have to upgrade the power supply at the same time. To play the Sims 3 and Sims 4 should be good with a mid range card. If you think you may play more demanding games like Fallout 4 you'll probably want a more powerful card. Your computer is not really that powerful so yolu may want to get a mid range video card. Much of the decision probably will depend on the budget. Any card less then $100 USD will probably be entry level or an old model. Take a look at a Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti will run about $160 USD and you'll have to upgrade the power supply. Your power supply is only 290 Watts and you can probably upgrade to a 500 Watts for about $50 USD. The two main manufacturers are Nvidia and ATI (ATI is owned by AMD) and choice is mostly a personal preference. Once you make a choice it is just a matter of how powerful a card you want and that will determine the cost. Then check to see how much power it reequires and that will tell you the power supply required. Most mid range cards will require 300 Watts or more and the price difference is not that great so to get a 300 Watt for $40 you can get a 550 Watt for $50. I use Newegg or Amazon or Microcenter. I have a Mircocenter about 30 minutes away so if I need it now I just jump in the car. You have to do a little homework.
@roberta591 Thanks so much for you suggestions
