I think my Video card freezes my computer

[Guest]

Me and my boyfriend just bought a bare bone kit her put it together and it ran perfect. When i installed my Sims3 it ran for about 15 minutes and then the words became unreadable and it froze. I am computer stupid all i know is it is a GeForce 9600 video card. I just want my computer to stop freezing

Try downloading the latest drivers for your video card here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Latest drivers... and also a dump question.. But you have a PCI-E power cable plugged into the actual video card right?
