New Computer Doesn't like TS2

For the last week or 2, whenever I run TS2, I get a blue screen message, the stop error 0x00000101 or 0x00000124 randomly, but sometimes I don't get any error, the game will work fine or the computer might just freeze up and I can even hear the tone that a device was deactivated and then the computer freezes, I just had my computer looked at by 5 different tech guys in the past week and I talked and blogged to a bunch of other tech guys, but the computer is fine according to all of them and the steps I was told to do with the computer didn't solve these issues, I don't have any damaged or faulty hardware, I was just wondering if anyone here could give me some feedback on this, I only have this issue on my TS2 game, I have also tried a clean uninstall, no mods, have only one hood in-game while playing, but I still get those errors randomly

I'm just lucky that I can be in-game long enough to test my cars and get pics of them

I had a similar problem recently. All I done was go into the NVIDIA control panel and reduce the quality from high to medium, and I haven't had it since. If it's not an NVIDIA card you have, I'm not sure if this option will be available to you.

what if it's already set to medium?

Try adjusting your screen display. i.e change it to classic mode rather than standard XP or Vista. Your taskbar etc should be grey. That worked for me.

tried that, I had it set to the most basic view, still getting those blue screen errors

I'm no tech guy, but maybe the game's CD from underneath is just damaged.... If that's the problem then you need a new TS2.....
If that's not the problem then I'm stumped.....

the CD is fine no scratches or cracks, since the game works fine on the other computer, besides the fact it's very, very slow on the old one

I notice something strange, I accidentally left FF open in the background while in TS2 and for 2 days and about 6 times going back in forth in the game while leaving my FF open in background, the computer didn't act up with the errors
