hashtag-anthems The error message you've posted is from the EA App itself, so it's unsurprising that it would restart the App and not the game.
You should be able to disable any Edge-related services through msconfig . This would also stop them from opening when you launched Edge, unless you undid the change, but it's easy to apply either way once you've found the location of the problem service on the list.
A temporary workaround is of course to take your computer offline when you're using CAS, and only then. I realize it's not ideal, but you could download Gallery sims at other times, then choose to load a sim from your library when you wanted somewhere to start in CAS.
For the BlueScreens, something to consider is reinstalling Windows. While you could, if you had the time and the mental energy, try to troubleshoot each one, when there are several different kinds of errors that aren't necessarily all of the same type, it's often easier, not to mention faster, to start fresh. I'm not suggesting you have to, and certainly not right now; this is just something to keep in mind.
The other detail to keep in mind is that a RAM issue can look like almost anything else. So I would also suggest removing and re-seating your modules, and if that doesn't help, reinstalling the original sticks instead. Even if it's not a long-term solution for your use case, it's a helpful test.
I will be here whenever you're ready to troubleshoot, with whatever approach you want to try first. I've seen what this kind of situation does to someone and completely understand if you need to put the issue on ice for now, then come back at some uncertain point in the future.
