Major Computer malfunction - Please Help

If it is a hardware failure and I had to guess, you might have fried your video card. It is right at the start-up for windows that this really kicks in. Your video card would have been running very hot from Sims (especially if it is older and underpowered) and it can produce this error. Just for clarification, you never see a blue screen of death, even for the briefest of moments before it crashes?

Do you have a separate video card or it it an onboard motherboard card?
