10 mins into playing my screen goes black then says unsupported mode and restarts. All expansions expect Showtime and late night. Once booted back up it will ether do the same a few times or show a black screen with no signal and takes a lot of tinkering to get back a picture. Specs of PC are as follows
AMD FX-8300 3.30 GHz 8-Core
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2 GB
8 GB DDR3
1 TB HDD
Dont know if it means anything but im using an old tv as a monitor with an HDMI cable. On the computer there is a spot that is labeled as HDMI and another that looks and fits the same. If i use the labeled one nothing shows up. So i use the unlables one a little lower on the back of the computer.
The one lower on the back of the case is the correct port to use its your graphics cards port.
Have you tried updating your GTX 960 drivers?
Yes all up to date. Now since this happend last night i turn it on and i hear noise(not the fans) and a light is on but not display at all. Worried it might be dead

What is the tv's resolution? Can you make sure the game is set to the native resolution (your tvs resolution.. can find that out in windows display settings.) Also try running the game in window mode.

I've already answered this question, on the prior page of this thread.
Edit: Hmm, that link doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Let's try it this way.
Does this work?
how do i install mods for sims 3? have no idea how to do this, one other question can i use a 1TB SSD as the primary storage instead of HDD, as a SSD will load faster

Yes the game will load faster on ssd. We already mentioned this. We also told you to seek professional computer help on altering your computer since you stated you wanted to buy a larger ssd and reinstall windows.

Only gurus and other EA staff can help with that. You should try to get the attention of @SimStaffBethelle.
phoebebe13 mentioned if i bought a larger(1TB) SSD i would have to re-install windows, do u know how this is done or where can i research how to accomplish this?

If the laptop has two hard drives you maybe able to replace the hdd with another ssd without reinstalling windows. You would have to talk to a computer expert to help you with this. If you are reinstalling windows again I would speak to the expert if your replacing the ssd with a larger one. This may void your warranty.

i googled if upgrading the laptop voids the warranty, and it said MSI users are allowed to upgrade RAM/HDD as long as you don't break anything, i'll check if it has two HDD's, again i apologize for hogging this thread

Ok why is nobody accepting my apology? Phoebebe13, anyone who i might have annoyed i apologize for hogging this thread buy why is no-one answering. Does anyone know why SimGuruDrake isnt replyin to any of my posts/messages on her wall i have left 5-8 of them had one reply never any after can someone get in touch and ask her to pm me as i asked nicely to remove my profile and now no answers its getting annoying and frustrauting
still no answer why is everyone ignoring me i have apologized 5 times and nobody accepts and WHY has SimGuruDrake STILL not got back to me its been nearly 2 weeks getting 🐸🐸🐸🐸 OFF!!
I don't understand the SSD question. A drive is a drive, you can install the game on any hard drive that has space for it.[/quote]
Is phoebebe13 p***ed off with me asking all those laptop questions cause i have apologized on this thread and on her wall but hasnt forgiven me or accepted my apology i do apologize phoebebe13 for all the trouble i have caused on this thread but i'm new to laptop technology so again i apologize can we be civil and be friends?
@the_simsgamer96 - I'm going to step back in here and I hope that phoebebe doesn't mind my speaking for her. We would prefer it if you could please stop posting on this thread. That's just a gentle request, it's not like we own the place. But this thread is intended for new forum members who have tech issues. We have already answered yours as best as we could.
Although you do see us goofing around occasionally, this is a game forum after all and games are meant to be fun, we and the other helpful folks who participate here are also tech professionals, others are very experienced gamers, etc., and we will try to help anyone who stops by with their questions. We want to encourage new members' tech posts here, not dilute the thread with unnecessary demands for apologies (really, it just doesn't matter and nobody here hates you or anyone else) and complaints about requests to the forum moderators. There are other forum sub-boards that are better suited for these kinds of things.
