Seeking Helpful Advice! - Sims3 crashing problem

I've been playing sims for years now and I'm really starting to get sick of all the issues I am faced with in the sims 3 ☹️

I recently installed university life and found that after 5-10mins of game time that my computer crashed unexpectedly. I checked the system event viewer but it did not specify anything in particular other than the system had rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. I have experienced problems in the past but never has it crashed my computer.

I have researched into this problem further and found that it could be to do with the graphics card overheating. I have ensured that my laptop is well ventilated and have even had to sit by an open window but the same thing happens. I'm afraid that if it happens again it may wreck my laptop. I've tried so many things from uninstalling my games and downloaded content to changing settings (such as vertical sync and DEP).

This is the system information for my laptop:

Windows 7 home premium 64-bit

model: Satellite A500

BIOS: Ver 1.00PARTTBL

Intel Core 2 Duo

4GB RAM

DirectX 11

NVIDIA Geforce GT 230M

Integrated RAMDAC

I'd be very grateful if someone could offer me advice or a solution to what's actually causing these crashes so I can fix it. My system does meet requirements since I have been able to play the game in the past.

    ok to start with some of your drivers need an update go to nvidea.com they have an auto dectect and install...i'm going to look at the rest of your dxdiag and if you have a cooling pad too that will help with cooling
