So, my friend has been having a problem for a while now. She'd be in CAS, making her family, and after about an hour (?) of creating sims, her computer would freeze suddenly, and then the screen would turn black. The computer would make a weird noise internally, and then it would suddenly reboot on its own.
To specify, this is a Mid 2010 Mac Mini with 8GB RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce 256MB Graphics Card.
Could it be a Graphics Card Issue? A RAM Issue (though I don't believe it is)? There is more than enough storage on the hard drive.

Having said all of that, I am surprised that the game runs on that Mac Mini. Its graphics card is typically not strong enough to carry TS3 well. But if the game works other than within these very long CAS sessions, then that's great.
