Frequent Hard Crashing. I really need help with this.

«13
I will post my dxdiag after I get some responses. My drivers, CPU (Q6600 quad core 2.5 ghz), Graphics card (GTX260Nvidia), and RAM are more than accurate. I do not get crashes like this in any other game that I own. What happens is this:

I will load up Sims 3 (using fullscreen @ 1680x1050 resolution, my native), begin playing, and out of nowhere and seemingly random, the game will just stop and freeze. I can't click out of it, I can't bring up task manager. Nothing. I have to reset my computer using the button on the outside of the case. It takes varying amounts of time for this crash to occur, but it crashes EVERY time that I play eventually. I just expect it to happen, so I save constantly.

I have Vigor Monsoon 2 TEC cooling system and I checked, all fans are running. I also cranked up my graphics card fans to compensate for any excess heat that Sims3 brings out of my components. Keep in mind, I don't have problems like this in any other game I own.

I can only assume it is the fault of the game.

    Any ideas as to what it should be? I know my system is more than powerful enough for the game. I also have a full fledged cooling system, and I checked, all fans are running.

    It is air cooled. And yeah the CPU is slightly overclocked, but definitely not enough to be causing overheats. Like I said though, Sims 3 is the only game I am having a problem with. I had my clocks set even higher, and lowered it JUST for Sims 3 to see if that was the problem. It's not.

    I have games far more demanding (Crysis Warhead, Fallout 3, Stalker, Mass Effect, and some others) than Sims 3, it definitely should not be the problem.

    Your system definitely meets or exceeds the requirements, so let's cast the troubleshooting net a bit wider.

    Can you check your CPU and memory usage? And can you check the system heat and power usage as well?

    Thanks,

    I am not sure exactly how I can check power usage, but I should point out that I have a 800 watt Tagan model TG800-U25 PSU.

    My CPU usage varies and my memory usage usually sits near 1.5gbs of RAM.

    Edit: Heat does get higher than normal, but ONLY when playing Sims3. Do you think this could be a memory leak and my system is having to go into overdrive to keep up with the leak?

    hey all with crashes. if one game is installed on multiple computers it will crash. my brother had my game on his computer and ours both crashed. now that he got his own and uninstalled my game neither of ours crash. so its best if its not on two different computers if it is now.

    Hate to say it, but I am pretty sure that having it installed on multiple computers would not have any kind of effect. Mine isn't installed on multiple computers and my system is more than capable, yet still I get bad crashes.

    If it's a retail version, a disc check should not know if its on one computer or another. If it's a download version, multiple computers are allowed, I believe, so that you can say have it on your desktop and take it with you. I thought they gave you so many active instals on the downloader

    Another question for you OP. Is this the only game you play or are there any other games that might have the same issue (not talking about flash based,java or in general, "casual" games).

    Yeah, in my OP, I said I Sims 3 is the only game I get this problem with. I have games that are much, much more intensive than Sims 3 and I never have these problems. I play all sorts of games, and some of those are the most demanding games available.

    I can see how you would be a bit irritated. I'm having the same issue that you are having and I have the requirements to play the game as well. I can play way more intensive games with no problems.

    I have noticed that as I play the game my memory usage does increase steadily but the crashes are still at random points in game play. Not sure if that really means anything though. Possible memory leak? Not really sure but just thought I would throw that in there.

    Even playing in windowed mode doesn't correct the crashing issue.
    I can post my DxDiag if it's really needed but I'm positive that all my specs meet and surpass requirements and that all my drivers are as fully up to date as they can get.

    I have the same issue. I even had a crash wipe out my main save as well. I built a new Core i7 gaming rig in preparation for this game (although I re-used my 8800 GTS...should still be decent for this game).

    Thats truly odd, because I have yet to experience a crash on my game and my specs are slightly lower, have you tried reinstalling and defragmenting your hard drives?

    Considering my HD is brand new, I don't think its time for a defrag quite yet haha. I play other games at near full specs for hours on end without any issues (Crysis, Mass Effect, etc.) Temps are just under 60°C under 100% load based off of Prime95 for 4 hours.

    Well I am under the impression that there might be an issue with the 8800s as there were a lot of people with that card talking about problems on other boards. I am not sure if its another issue with a specific card here too. It's not unheard of to meet all the requirements, and in this case, exceed them pretty and still have a problem because of either driver issues or the game needs a patch. I don't see anything you list that would explain the problem, especially if you are not having it with other games that require a lot more than this one

    I can post my DxDiag if it's really needed but I'm positive that all my specs meet and surpass requirements and that all my drivers are as fully up to date as they can get.

    If you're seeing your memory usage steadily rise up, that definitely sounds like a memory leak. Memory leaks that last a long time can also over tax components causing them to heat hotter than usual. I have noticed that Sims 3 shoots up my ambient temperatures quite a bit, yet still not enough that heat should be the cause of the issue.

    I know people are going to start throwing rocks at me for saying this but The Sims 3 does not run well on quad core or 64 bit systems.

    Your system is a fantastic rig, there is no reason the game should be crashing.

    Are there any indicators when it crashes, any odd noises, flashes, just anything at all happening right before the crash?

    Also is it a soft crash or a hard one, do you have to reboot?

    Lastly, try running the game on only one processor.

    I get hard crashes. I've tried running it on a single core/windowed mode and I still get crashes. They occur with random events, sometimes when I try to save, sometimes when I perform an action...sometimes it just stutters and freezes, with the audio looping.

    I don't run AVG.

    I've tried old driver, I've tried updating my BIOS, I got a darn 5" duct jammed onto the front of my tower drawing outside air for cooling And I've swapped around on the 12V rails. no difference at all. I do get the D601 LED ligth going once it hangs. indicating bad core power. Just weird how it's only affecting certain games, and the fact that this rig should be able to run Crossfire 4870's (Just barely though) with its powersupply.

    I've run out of ideas, And now firmly believe that it is something in the Newer Opengl versions that messes with the power control of some setups.
    the HD4850's had an identical fault in crossfire setups just before christmas. and AMD/ATI released a hotfix for that.
    I tried installing that driver/hotfix. but it wouldn't be recognized by the system at all.
