Complete System Crash - solved?
Madame Mim:
I am getting, as the name suggests, a complete system crash. I have a dual core processor - 3GHz, onboard sound, an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 and am running Windows7. My drivers are up to date. The crash is repeating but not repeatable and it does not generate any error reports.
I currently have in my game a collection of un-updated textures and meshes, CMARs ear sliders, updated mods from BlueGenJitsu, Twoftmama, Twallen, velocitygrass and, of course, Pescado - but I do not think that this is CC related.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would make Sims, and only Sims, crash my entire computer?

Something somebody said made me think and I deleted every piece of EA content I had. Now the game seems to be running smoothly. It'll take time to see if this 'fix' holds, especially as I add back in some specific store content, but it may just have been the sheer weight of EA crap killing my machine.

Find the setting to make the BSoD show if you haven't already, and google the shit out of the error code. Otherwise I think your guess is as good as ours.
Madame Mim:
After last crash system refused to boot on first try - it made mechanical start up noises (ie first rev of power supply) but never made it to quieter 'working' stage nor (of course) POST beep.
As far as Googling error code, first I'll have to Google how to turn on BSoD.

You might want to check internal temperatures; I bluescreened a lot before I got a laptop cooler.

Madame Mim, the fact that it didn't start up suggests it may be an issue with your Motherboard. I had an issue a few years back that sounds incredibly similar to this problem. It was throwing up error messages that identified every other part of the system, then eventually the Mobo died.
In case it isn't though, make sure you back your data up.
Jesus' suggestion about internal temperatures may also be really helpful. When I was having an issue with heat on an older computer a few years ago, someone gave me an internal temperature sensor, the programs exist on the net that show you the internal temperature of your pc. If that turns out to be the issue, you could even take the side off your PC to help keep it cool. Also, check for dust inside your machine, and make sure to clean it out regularly, that can contribute to heat issues.
