It only started doing this yesterday, but did it twice in an hour so I gave up and left the laptop to cool down. It doesn't sit on my legs so the fans aren't blocked. My boyfriend said it's because it's hot right now in the UK but I have the laptop on a stand. I've spent a lot of money on this new laptop and the games and I'm really bummed that I can't play it now for more than an hour at a time. I've got all the game packs, expansion packs, mods etc for Sims and my old laptop (not the one that shut down randomly) handled it all fine even though it was a lot older. I had to do a force shut down because the laptop wasn't responding to anything I did. This laptop freezes on whatever I'm doing on the game, then the screen goes black and then it shuts down but it takes a while. I had this issue with my older laptop, but it shut down suddenly.
It's not got a new graphics card or anything, just what the laptop comes with. I checked and the laptop meets the requirements for the game, so I don't understand. The risk is there, so make sure you save your work before you close your laptop lid.Hi! I recently got the Dell G3 3590 i7 laptop, and while I love it, it's becoming a problem to play Sims now because the laptop keeps shutting down. It’s also possible that Windows will shut down, and you will lose any unsaved work. It is possible that an app blocks the shutdown with a prompt to save your work. If you have any apps running, Windows will exit them first and then shut the system down. Windows will not force the system to shut down. When you close your laptop lid, Windows will initiate a shut down. Select ‘Shut down’ under both ‘On battery’ and ‘Plugged in.’Ĭlick ‘Save changes’ to apply the change. Open the drop-down menu next to the ‘When I close the lid’ option.
You can set a different action for when your laptop is running on battery and when it is plugged in. On the next screen, you will see options for customizing the power and sleep buttons, and the laptop lid close action. On the left column, select ‘Choose what closing the lid does.’ The Control Panel app will open at the location: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options. Select Power Options from the context menu. Right-click the battery icon in the system tray. If you have multiple users configured on your laptop, you can set the laptop lid close action separately for each user. You don’t need administrative rights to set this up.
