My PC crashes after 10-20 minutes of gaming

When I run my save (which is quite old), the game AND my PC crash after 10-20 minutes of play. I tried to play it without mods but the bug persists. The bug does not appear on other saves. I checked DirectX9 in the settings and after 2 days of gaming, the problem returned.

I have an Nvidia Gforce RTX 3060

I carried out several tests and here are my results:

-My PC crashed after 10 minutes of gaming, then I checked DirectX9 and my PC (+gaming) now crashes every 20 minutes or so

-I tried to play on a newly created game and the problem does not seem to recur.

-My problem is exclusive to Sims4

-If I save just before the crash is supposed to happen, it looks like it resets the timer before another crash

-This problem happened since the Life & Death update

If you have any ideas because I'm REALLY desperate. THANKS

For those who ask, here is my DxDiag:

 

[EDIT]

I created a new folder THE SIMS 4 and after playing the game for 15 minutes, the screen turned white with the game continuing to run in the background. Impossible to open a page and display it, the screen remained stuck in white and I had to shut down my PC manually.
