My game only runs for 10 - 20 minutes before my computer shuts down. I thiiiink it might be an overheating problem but I have no idea how I would tell if that's actually the case, or fix it if it were. My computer has never done this before, so I'm a bit confused about it. The game runs perfectly fine up until the computer turns off. I have the Razor copy, patched, running from a no-cd crack, and my computer exceeds minimum specifications. It's died all five times I've tried playing since install (my poor sim has only managed to live one sim day so far). Any suggestions?
eta: Just tried it again and this time it lasted less than five minutes. Argh annoying.

I'm having the same problem. I started off with Reloaded, and it would overheat after about an hour... applied the framerate limiter from this thread and overheating issues stopped. Upgraded to Razor and installed Store crap, and now my game goes less than five minutes before exploding.
CanYouRunIt says I'm way above min. specs and I was able to run Reloaded just fine, after dealing with FPS. I've tried running the FPS limiter again and pulling graphics down to their very lowest, but apparently it's not having any effect. I'm able to play games like Fallout 3 and Oblivion without my computer going nuts, so I really don't know what the deal is here. I don't have any mods, and I've tried deleting caches on the off chance that something would work, but nothing has. Would the retail copy act less stupid, do you think? I'd planned on buying it this week, but after the game started to act up I didn't want to waste $50 on something I wouldn't be able to play.
