Please Help! Black Screen Freeze Sims 4

[simster248p]

Please help! While playing the sims my screen goes black and freezes my pc. i cant do anything except force restart.

I feel like i have tried everything.

I have cleared all my cache both sims and origin, Repair game, Updated my graphics driver, Replaced my motherboard battery, Check disk scan.

I even thought it might be over heating so i have Msi Afterburner set up and i got my side case removed and it still goes black!

I have been playing on max settings for years and now all of a sudden this happens. I feel my pc can handle this as did before.

Is there something i have missed?

Specs:

Intel I7-2600k cpu @ 3.40 GHz 3.70GHZ

RAM 16.0 GB

64 bit Operating System

Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 on GK104 GPU - Memory speed  6.0 Gbps - RAM 2048 MB

OK so i seemed to have fixed this issue.

I have stopped using msi afterburner. Apparently another clocking system can cause such events.

I also reinstalled the graphics driver thought G force experience and done a clean reinstall though custom setting.

I also changed my power setting though the advanced option and turn off PCI link state power management.

I've been playing for hours now two days in a row without a black out.
