Its kind of annoying when people hijack threads but I guess your issue is similar so okay then.

Andrew, your issue can be many things. But before we can narrow down the possibilities, please do the following:

What does it say once it closes?

Pull up your error log in the GTAIV Folder and paste the error here. :D

Mine does the same thing, I recently installed a few mods from a trusted source and when I play the game it gets maybe 15 minutes in or so and the just shuts off...doesn't say anything after, it's like I wasn't playing the game at all. And I can't find the error log in the GTA IV folder.

If it just crashes randomly, it means you've overmodded it. Reinstall, try a clean version, then add a few mods and check does it crashes and so on.

*EDIT* Having the required specs, are you talking about the Minimum, or the Recomended? I have system specs that blow the recomended specs out of the water, and yet it still crashes, it's just the poorly way GTA IV was designed for the PC.

Also are you using any mods such as ELS, ENB, and are your cars ELS cars?
