Re: Sims 4 Forcing Computer to Restart
@jaemcclyn Please open the case and make sure all the cables from your PSU are secured. Sometimes it really is that simple. And while you're there, make sure that the PSU is mounted so that its fan is pointed away from the center of the case.
If that's not the issue though, the next step is hardware monitoring. Download hwinfo from here:
https://www.hwinfo.com/download/
You don't need to install anything if you don't want to; just choose the Portable version, unzip it, and launch it from Downloads or wherever you want. (If you would like to install, be sure to click the green button, not the orange one.) Restart your computer, and don't open any other apps. Launch hwinfo, choose "sensors only," and click the icon that's a sheet of paper with a + sign to start logging. Save the file to your desktop for easy access later.
Wait five minutes, then launch Sims 4 and play until your computer restarts. The log should be intact up until that point, but please let me know how long it ran before the restart so I know if the log is cut off early. You can upload to a third-party free filehosting site and link it here. Please leave it in .csv format, or if you use OneDrive to share, please compress it in .zip format instead.
