Crash to desktop becoming a nightmare! [SOLVED]

After going through the Crash to desktop thread and trying out literally everything from increasing my RAM to 4GB to adding to my DEP list, turning off vertical sync and running my (modless) game with Razer Game Booster - I just can't seem to play my game for longer than 20 minutes without random jitter, then a crash to desktop. I get no errors, just a good ol' "Sims 3 has stopped responding".
I'm aware laptops aren't exactly made for gaming, but I've only just recently started having this issue. My requirements (besides my OS, as Windows 8 isn't listed in the compatible operating systems for when sims was released) all meet the standards.

It's absolutely baffles me as to why I can't seem to run a game such as this on a laptop that has absolutely no qualms of playing games such as The Elder Scrolls series with the highest possible graphics/shading settings.

Sorry if this issue has already arisen beforehand, and thankyou very much for your time.
