I play The Sims™3 like crazy! I love the game and can never stop playing it. Unfortunately, my PC doesn't like it very well, as it seems, because the one widget I have on my desktop shows the CPU and Physical Memory readings. After the Memory gets to a certain point either over 80 or 90, the entire game freezes up and eventually quits. During game play, I have NO other programs opened to preserve CPU and memory usage.

Since I know this is not normal, would it be wise to buy an external cooling fan for the laptop or is there a "fix" for this?

Maybe I misunderstood the question, but it does not sound like a cooling problem but a memory useage problem. If by 80-90 is useage, then you are running out of memory which causes the game to crash. However, I must say that I play several games too, not that one, but I have 8GB of memory and have never played a game that uses over 50-55% of my memory. I'm just wondering if there may be other problems.

I'm confused as well. You are discussing memory usage and then asking of a cooling fan would be a solution. Did you check your Event Viewer for any MSoD codes or other useful information to see what's causing the crash?

My laptop has 6GB of memory installed which I think should be feasible.
After reviewing the logs from yesterday afternoon, I am seeing a lot of Warnings and Errors. Most of the errors say "The index can not be initialized". One of the warnings say this:

The reason I was thinking I needed an external cooling fan was because the left vent on the laptop blows a lot of hot air (like a heater in the wintertime) during game play. However, I do have a small, household fan on my desk which I have on when I play but apparently that either isn't doing anything or something.

I'm a little confused on how this could be a memory issue...please explain.

In your first post you said,
After the Memory gets to a certain point either over 80 or 90, the entire game freezes up and eventually quits.

What I understand that to mean is after I get to the point that I am using 80-90% of my memory, the game freezes. The game freezes because there is not enough memory in your computer to run it. That being the issue, when any program has used all the memory you have, it will cease to function. By the same token, I do not know of a game that will use that much memory under normal circumstances. Memory useage has nothing to do with temps. Bringing temps down will not affect how much memory any application will use. While laptops are a poor platform for gaming, there must be something else under the hood causing the memory useage to be so high. I have a desktop, but have no more ram than you do. I can have 2 games running at the same time and not run out of memory. So again, the reason we are confused is you are telling us that your memory useage is expotentially high and asking about cooling. My personal opinion is, if you are gaming on a laptop; anything you can do to keep it cooler will help the laptop. But, it running cooler will not affect how much memory is used by an application. I look forward to DeaconFrost to chime in here for his take on the situation. If anything I said was wrong, I'm sure he will correct it. But, what I take from your first post is you are running out of memory, and shouldn't be.

Over 80 or 90 what????? Percentage of RAM available?

Temerature 80 or 90 degrees? Farenheit, Celsius or Kelvin?

I'm trying to help out a fellow PA'er, but we can only go by what you tell us. You seem to be blaming the memory usage, and then you move to blaming heat.

If you want to find out what's using the memory, run Resource Monitor in the background while you play the game. Again, you say it freezes when the memory usage gets up to a certain point, but then you flip back to blaming heat.

Thanks for your replies. Please see the attached.
The reason I said about heat was because the laptop blows a lot of heat during the game. However, memory concerns is the physical memory jumps during the game and ranges from 55%-90%.

codyw, Laptops are poor gaming platforms. Laptops are notoriously hot anyway. When you game, I'm sure you know the extra strain creates even more heat, which most laptops are not designed to handle. That is why I told you earlier that anything you can do to keep your laptop cooler will help it. However, it seems to me that your crashing is memory related. Every game or any other program on your computer needs memory to run. It will stop and crash when it runs out of memory. By your figures, your games crash when your memory usage gets over 90%. A game or any other program that uses 90% of memory will drastically start slowing down and eventually quit. The real issue, to me, is why is your laptop using that much memory. It should not happen if your laptop is equipped to play that type of game. It may happen if you are trying to play a game that requires more memory and CPU power than your laptop has. The laptop in your system specs is not a real powerful laptop. Is this the one we are talking about? Normally the home site of the game gives minimum system requirements and recommended system requirements. You may look there for some answers. In the mean time Karl will look at your info you just posted and see if he detects any problems. While he is doing that, you may like to check the game site out and also run the Windows Defender offline Virus Scan. That tutorial can help assure that this is not a problem being caused by a virus.

cody,

Your system specs are wrong. I don't know whether they reflect an old compute or what, but they certainly do not conform to the info in the file you uploaded.

Please carry out this procedure. Use SPECCY.

Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
Your Profile | Edit System Spec
(left-hand column)

To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

In the System Manufacturer Block, enter:
Manufacturer and Model and
ADD the word laptop, desktop, netbook or tablet.
For example:
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.

You will find that in Speccy, you can select info from the display
using your mouse/touchpad and then paste that info into your specs.

SIW is a marvelous program, but the free version does not offer
this capability.

Over 80 or 90 what????? Percentage of RAM available?

Temerature 80 or 90 degrees? Farenheit, Celsius or Kelvin?

Come on, you could at least assume that he's not talking about the temperature of his RAM in Kelvin, heh.:geek:;)

I would've tried what DeaconFrost presented by looking at your resources while the game was in use, checking specifically what software was causing a rise (temperature or usage, I'd assume the latter) in whatever it may be (RAM, so I hear, heh).

It looks like I "may" have found the problem to why the physical memory was spiking during my game play in The Sims 3. I downloaded Windows Defender Offline but was unable to scan with it outside the Windows environment because I had an extremely hard time trying to update the virus definitions. I used a few other tools and found 5 Trojans on my system. I was very shocked, given that I had Kaspersky installed on my machine, and since they have an excellent reputation, I was even more surprised that these threats were able to get in and do damage.

After sending these five threats to VirusTotal, hardly any vendors detected them but a few did. I have removed the detected threats, installed a new AV, and so far, the physical memory is staying between 60%-79% during game play if not a bit lower and the PC is much more responsive during game play than it was before.

I am going to continue to monitor the PC and watch for any new behaviors but I think I got the root of the problem cleared up.

That's good news that you found the problem. I would still try to run windows defender offline if you can. It will take a while to run it, but it will make sure your system is clean.

I had multiple licenses of Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security and installed the 2012 version.
However, last night after writing my update, my game did quit on me, but the funny part about it was the physical memory was at about 66%. Not sure why that happened...
