Sims 4 Freezing Computer
I'm really hoping I can get some sort of help here because my game is completely unplayable because of this and has been for quite some time.
During unspecified amounts of play time Sims 4 will always and without fail freeze my computer.
I have recently done a fresh install of Windows 10, which is fully updated as are my drivers and done a fresh install of The Sims 4 with no mods or cc. Still freezes.
I play several other games on my pc, including The Sims1-3 with no issues. It is only The Sims 4 that conflicts.
The only solution I have ever been given is to disable my Nvidia graphics drivers but I am afraid of doing this because I do not have onboard video on my motherboard and don't want to mess anything up.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
@rokelle2012 Sorry for the late reply; I wanted to get a second opinion on whether there was anything else you could do here. This issue isn't about Sims 4 or any other games. Your hard drive is failing. The new chkdsk scan flagged far more bad sectors as the first one, and it still reports that there's not enough space to replace them. Either of these is enough to say the drive is in bad shape; both means it's time for a replacement, the sooner the better. While your drive might continue to function for a while, it could also fail at any moment, at which point your data could be totally unrecoverable.
If you have a warranty, this is the time to use it. I'm not sure why this drive failed so quickly, but that should never happen and just reinforces the idea that there's something very wrong with the drive.
