silverlacie If you've never overclocked your components, that would have had to come from the manufacturer, or whoever built your computer if it was an individual. Your hardware supports overclocking, but it's not something that happens by accident.
For now though, let's focus on what happens in a new save with no mods or custom content, to get the game running in a stable fashion. Adding your mods or cc or old saves isn't a valid test if the game might still crash without any of that content.
So please create another clean Sims 4 folder, as described in the first post, start a new save without any content from the Gallery, and see how it runs. If you get another crash, look for new errors in the Reliability Monitor. Click Windows key-R and enter "perfmon /rel" without quotes, and you'll see a chart of errors and updates with a column for each day. Today is on the right.
Look for an error that happened at exactly the time of this most recent Sims 4 crash. If you find one, double-click it to see more details, then copy that info and paste it into a reply here. If you don't see a new error, check back in an hour or so—the Reliability Monitor doesn't always update right away.
Please also make sure you're restarting your computer each time the game crashes. Not doing so could cause the "Failed to launch game" error on the next launch all by itself.

I tested and it doesn't happen without mods in the folder. Sometimes it will launch and I can play with mods, but that's very rare, it usually crashes at launch every time with cas and build buy mods. All script mods are updated and the game loads fine with them but once I add CC the crash happens.
