    You have really outdated drivers:
    Code:
    Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M
    Driver Date/Size: 10/3/2009 09:32:05, 9613416 bytes
    You need to download and install latest drivers from Nvidia website:

    Looks like your graphics card driver was last updated in 2009. We have links to the manufacturer's sites to download new drivers here:

    Same thing, your graphics card driver is outdated as well.

    Hey, I see you helping all kinds of people on this site and I just want to thank you on behalf of them, but I seem to be having the same problem as both of these guys.

    Here is my Dxdiag. You are awesome, Uncle Sam guy, you really are.

    I used the intel tool to get new ones, and it did;
    I don't know if its those. It still doesnt work. The new dxdiag is with this one.

    Drivers should be fine now, did you restarted your laptop?

    Also do you run game though Steam or not?

    Okay, I changed it to the one you recommended. It still crashes, in fact even more.
    I do restart my laptop every time I update it,
    and No, I don't use steam. Should I revert the driver to the one I had before you used the link? (Dxdiag for convenience.)

    It crashes if I'm not too "gentle" with rapid clicking, when I try to start up a room, etc. Before it only crashed if I was generating a solar system.

    I think you can try to run it with "--software-ui" flag.
