    Seems your graphic card has some issues with getting defective easlily.

    Does your computer otherwise run fine ? Could you run a hardware check on it to see if everything is in order ?

    Does Origin run ok ?

Origin runs fine. When I did the hardware check it didn't say there was anything wrong but I think the graphics card might be whats causing the problem. I'll try getting a new one soon but if that doesn't work I'll see you again, haha. Sorry for the trouble! Thanks for the help!

No trouble.

TBH, I would look into a new computer if you have the means. As you said, yours is pretty old and XP support is running out (might have already, not sure)

    It's running fine on my other one. I just wanted to see if I could get any use out of that old one, haha.
