Guys I'm desperate, I simply can't understand why this is happening, but every single time I start the game with any save (also when playing new saves) after some minutes (between 10 and 20 minutes usually) the game crashes.

That started happening the day before yesterday, after having installed some mods, but even after having uninstalled them the problem remained.

I use plenty of mods I have about 230 plugins, but I'm sure every one is compatible with each other, I also tried deactivating some, but the CTDs didn't stop

Someone has a clue or some suggestions to help me find out the issue?

Forgive me if I made some grammatical mistakes, English isn't my first language.

You need to post your load order. mods list and BOSS log. Be sure to use spoiler tags.

well, if the game loads up fine, usually means master files are in order, otherwise it would crash on start up. Could be a texture error, mybe a papyrus error, you can almost streamline your scripting loading by using these skyrim.ini tweaks:

 

[Papyrus]
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000
bEnableLogging=0
bEnableTrace=0
bLoadDebugInformation=0
fUpdateBudgetMS=800
fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=800
iMinMemoryPageSize=256
iMaxMemoryPageSize=512
iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=2457600 
 
although, if you are use a lot of mods, specifically large file mods, you might be reaching the 3.1 gig limit the game has (which you cannot bypass), if that is the case, there isn't anything you can do, except to trim down your mod list.
 
if the launcher is playing silly buggers, try this in the skyrimpref.ini
 
[Launcher] 
bEnableFileSelection=1
 
if none of these work, come back and we'l try something else.

There's a known bug involving a CTD when loading screens occur, this can mean that some mods collide with each other and thus.... crash.

If I were you however, I'd first try this before you go haywire and check if the mods are all compatible:

 

1. I presume you're using steam, so first- go to this directory in your computer: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Skyrim - Or if using disk, you're wiser than I to find this directory.

2. You'll see a list of ini files and such, click on the "Loadorder" file.

3. Now, look right at the top of the document, and browse for "Skyrim.esp" - If there's duplicates then remove one.

4. Save the edited document and exit.

5. Reset Archive Invalidation for good measure, so it can catch up to your new edit.

6. Start Skyrim in the mod manager

 

If my instructions aren't up to par, then you can refer to this video -  

 

(Helped me out with the exact problem you're facing)

 

Best of luck to you, also- I have a SKSE on the Mod Manager client, but in your screenshots I don't see it; have you got that installed? If not then this may be a factor of the crashes.

Thank you for your advise guys but the situation hasn't changed unfortunately, maybe is the 3.1 GB limit as i was suggested?

If that is the case there's a programme that let me see how much memory is used while playing? That would help me find out

Alternatively I could try deactivating the plugins one by one to discover if something changes, even it would take a while.

You can use Skyrim Performance Monitor to keep track of the amount of RAM and VRAM your game uses.
