can't find a fix for computer freezing with TS4 because TS3 fix isn't working

@Madamelee  do you have a desktop computer or laptop because you can't switch graphics on a desktop-only a laptop has switchable graphics, could you please get a DXDIAG copy here is the link https://help.ea.com/en/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/

it's a desktop.  And you would think the bloody guy would know when he literally had the desktop's TOWER (the actual computer) right there in PERSON. 

here's the dxdiag

@Madamelee  you have a GTX 650 which is on the minimum line for the game Ram and Cpu is fine to have you updated the gpu drivers from Nvidia? https://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk one you have done that try and clear the origin cache

Message me back if this helped you 

I cleaned origin cache about 20 different times  and did 500 millions other tests in my 7+ months of trying to deal with it   and I thought it was bulging capacitors when all my tests seemed fine?  The guy at the shop (according to Dad said I have an Optimum Graphics driver on the pack of my computer.  What am I suppose to replace  the GTX 650 with? Since I have always had it on this computer I think.  Even the testing game function online said that my graphics card was fine?

What is an Optimum graphics card anyway? 

@Madamelee  he's basically saying you need to get a new graphics card 

so what am I suppose to be changing it too? Since that's the one thing the guy didn't tell us? 

@Madamelee  get a GTX 1050 TI 4GB its a bit overkill for the game but you shouldn't have issues with it also send me a DXDIAG copy https://help.ea.com/en/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/

I'm pretty sure I have updated the graphics card before..  but my problem is when I play the sims 4 for about an hour it freezes up on me and I can't use the mouse nor can I use the other function (the keyboard hot keys) in order to get out of the game its always requires me to do a hard boot?

@Madamelee  sounds like something is corrupted in your system or overheating when did you last change the thermal paste on the CPU/GPU?
