Game Crashing on New Laptop - Help, please :(

Last week I bought a new laptop, a MSi. It WILL NOT play The SIms 4. I have tried everything, every trouble-shooting bit of advice I can find but nothing is resolving the issue I am experiencing with trying to play Sims 4 on my new laptop.

Most of the time the game is crashing straight to desktop with no error messages after a few minutes of gameplay.

On occasion, the game has crashed/frozen with a striped screen, and the only way to get out of the screen is to turn my laptop off at the power switch.

I've tried: 

Playing a vanilla game - no mods/cc

Disabled DEP

Disabled Origin in-game

Run Origin/Sims 4 as administrator

Tried playing in Windowed mode

Tried lowering graphic settings

Ensured drivers up to date

Ensured game is running off Nvidia graphics card and not Intel

And I'm sure I've tried other things I've forgotten... 

I have attached my DxDiag... Please can someone have a look and see if they have any idea what is wrong and how I can fix it..? Thank you!
