    Sims 2: screen turns off please ehlp

    I am playing sims 2 (original) and running expansion packs, kitchen and bathroom stuff is the lastest expansion pack i have.

    Since I installed the kitchen stuff expansion pack, when ever i play it after maybe 5min or even 10min my screen and only my screen will go from a green light to a orange light.

    I have read a couple of threads saying it might be a graphics card problem? I have no idea.

    When the screen light goes orange i either "windows" out of it and go back to desktop or press ctrl alt delete. I am able to go back into it after a minute or so, but it will happen again. and has frozen my computer also.

    any advice is grateful
