Game Locking up with no error report
theisz:
I have been having issues with my game locking up at random intervals. It hard locks and I have to push the reset switch on my PC. I have everything up to Pets installed, but not the patch. I did have the patch but it caused so many issues I reloaded Pets and didn't patch it again.
I have removed everything out of my downloads folder and it will run fine, so I know it has to be a hack or object. Unfortunately I have assloads of CC installed and really would go "crazier" than I already am if I have to go through it all.
I did run a scan using the Sims 2 Hack Conflict Detection Utility, but I don't know if all of the conflicts are true. I've attached the scan file and if anyone can see any obvious reasons for the lock ups I'd be very grateful.
I've also attached my config file.
Giggy:
having had a look at it I've come up with something
"Remove the inteen" (Optional)
"Remove s2g_movie_career.package or imacloud_wildlifecareer.package, these two carreers have serious conflict issues" (Critical)
Hoped I've helped

Thanks, I'll give that a try and see what happens.

Before removing custom careers, make sure any Sims in those careers are not at work, and are home.
Hegelian:
Hard locks are usually due to hardware issues. It could be a failing component (such as the motherboard), overheating, or some other hardware problem.

If the computer freezes, or shuts down or restarts unexpectedly, do the following to check for and replace outdated or damaged hardware:
Disclaimer: Adobe doesn't support hardware and provides these tasks as a courtesy only. For further assistance, contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller. If you troubleshoot hardware problems yourself, you may void the computer's warranty.
-- Contact the computer manufacturer for an updated BIOS and for help to determine whether you have damaged hardware, such as CPU chips or the motherboard. If you use a laptop with an ATI video chipset, contact ATI for an updated chip. Some ATI video chipsets overheat, causing errors in Photoshop.
-- Make sure that RAM DIMMs are installed properly and are not the cause by changing the order of the installed DIMMs. If the problem persists, remove all but the minimum number of DIMMs needed to run Windows and Photoshop, and test to see if the problem persists. If it does, replace the DIMMs you removed and remove the others, testing again to see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, one or more of the removed DIMMs are the cause. For assistance, contact the RAM or DIMM manufacturer.
Additional Information
System-level errors, such as a freeze, program error, or blue- or black-screen crash, can be either software-related or hardware-related. Software-related system errors include program errors and blue- or black-screen crashes. These errors indicate damaged or outdated software, such as video adapters, other hardware drivers, or Windows system files. Hardware-related system errors include unexpected restarts or shutdowns and system freezes. These errors indicate damaged or defective hardware, such as a damaged RAM chip, CPU chip, or motherboard. Hardware-related errors can also be caused by a defective or outdated BIOS.
Some Sony VAIO laptops include damaged hardware drivers. Errors that occur when you use Photoshop on a VAIO are often both hardware- and software-related.
