While playing the Sims 4, my PC will suddenly shut off.

PC turns off after about 15 minutes of play.  Doesn't occur in other--more intensive--games or if the PC is left running.

    This is always a hardware issue. Read previous replies to see which may apply to your situation.

  •  I had it too, it's not in the sims. I had a hole family and then the game just suddenly shutted off!

  • Yup, happening to me too.  Don’t  know anything about Vsyn in options.  Can you tell me more and how to adjust?  Thanks for your help in this matter

    Check that it is not overheating. Very common with laptops placed where they can not get sufficient airflow or the ventilation has become clogged.
