Game Crashing on New Laptop - Help, please :(

@loulou3686  SSD storage devices are a new solid state storage device - in other words there are no spinning platters like a conventional hard drive. They are fast and quiet but more expansive then a comparable hard drive. During the running of the Windows operating system temp files (cache, buffers, and other assorted files) are created and may be deleted when no longer needed. Many sales people don't inquire as to how you are going to use your computer. Many people today don't know much about the operating system and how it works. IMO your computer would make a nice student/business/social computer. But a gaming computer is a whole different animal. I have seen 1Tb hard drives for as little as $29.99 USD and my recommendation is to remove the 128Gb SSD and replace it with at least a 500Gb drive (if not larger). This would require some hardware changes and re installing Windows as the SSD image won't work on a conventional hard drive. You need to talk to a knowledgeable technician about a solution. Your computer should play The Sims 4 just fine but may have performance issues with more demanding games like Fallout 4. And when your not gaming you should look into a computer course at the local college. Many are offering classes that aren't credited but Continuing Education Classes. I have to take tests to maintain my certifications so I usually take a class to assure I can pass the tests. To tell you why you should have a larger storage device is a complex subject as user who know about these limitations can install the game to an alternate device (a data drive) and there are ways to even relocate the user data using a technique call symbolic link. The problem is when you need to trouble shout an issue finding the data could be a problem as that data is no longer in the default location. Yes your system can work as is BUT you need to know the pros and cons when you deviate from the default. I personally don't see the advantage of using a SSD for just the operating system when you need the advantage for the application (game) that is usually installed to the data drive. There are many things that need to be discussed as computers are becoming appliances with an on and off button and many people don't know how that little box works. You have a data drive and you could uninstall the game and configure Origin to install the game to the data drive and that should help. You will have to keep in mind that future installs may have to be done the same way.
