Re: Sims 4 makes my computer restart itself
@AngryChicken028 A straight restart is usually a hardware issue, so I'd like to see the results of some hardware monitoring, with your graphics card enabled. 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 until your computer restarts. The log should be intact until that point, but please keep track of when you opened the app, and let me know how long the interval is between when you started logging and when your computer restarted. You can upload the log 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.
The same applies to Sims 3, if you want to make a log for it as well.
Please also let me know what drive each game is installed on, if either one is currently installed at all.
