Finally I have found the solution. my GPU was not properly recognized, but because I didn't get a notification and it said (matched 0, Found 1). I thought it was good.
But after I used a mod to get the GPU to recognize it, it works fine.
mafje Furmark will push a GPU to its limits, in terms of both performance and thermals, so yes, those results are reasonably typical for a GPU like yours. I would still have the card checked out professionally if you can find someone to do it for free or cheap, if only because this is not expected behavior and you've already DDU'd the driver.
Speaking of which, just in case it's relevant, did you use DDU to remove the Nvidia driver after testing the other GPU? If not, that could explain the current crashes, although not the original ones (unless you had an Nvidia card in this computer before replacing it with your current one). It's still worth running DDU again just to look for an Nvidia driver; if DDU doesn't detect one, that's not the problem.
I reinstalled windows 11 or 10 every time. so i had a clean test. didn't use ddu only if with installing a driver was installed by windows update. So it was a lot of work installing every time. So i am not getting any further. to be honest i'm thinking of quiting with the sims 3.
Its to much efford to get it running.

mafje I'm glad that worked for you, but an unrecognized card really shouldn't have affected things nearly this much. Most people can play without editing the .sgr files and barely notice a difference. Still, it's good to have a fix.
@ puzzlezaddict You are right. After 30 minutes I got the same error message again. Then I looked further into Windows Security and I noticed that the memory integrity was on. I turned it off and now I can keep playing. I haven't reported anything yet because I wanted to be sure that this was really the solution. But so far I've been playing for 12 hours with no problems.
I don't know why memory integrity has such an effect.
puzzlezaddict Thanks for the help and patience
