Sims 4 Keeps crashing during game play after Feb 2018 update

@JapaneseJello  First thing you should do is update the video driver as noted it is over a year old and Nvidia releases new drivers very frequently. What resolution do you have the game set at? Do you have this issue with other games? Try to run a benchmark like 3dmark and see if the computer crashes. Is the laptop getting hot before it crashes? It is possible that the Geforce 940 MX chip is overheating. I always configure memory in blocks of 4Gb - while 6Gb should work, sometimes the dual channel does not work correctly at odd configurations. Memory needs to be checked to verify it is acceptable by Acer for that laptop. Check to make sure there are no updates for Windows 10. There were some issues with the spring update and updates were pushed out. The most common problem for this error message is an issue with the video driver or the video chip overheating.
