    Ok. I fixed my problem. It was everything in graphic card's fan. It was covered in dust. And when i wanted to start the game while using my graphic card it started to get overheated and it was automatically turning on my intel graphics. I have removed dust from my graphics fan and it started to work properly. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. 🙂

Did the game work with the expansion packs before ?

Did you test the game before you put your stuff back ?

Yes.

I didn't put my stuff back, I have only basic game with no EPs and CC installed. It still doesn't work properly.
