Skyrim (v1.9) is stuttering and giving black screen randomly

[WilliamTael]

My Skyrim ver.1.9 is stuttering (especially outside of Solitude) and giving black screen.

My PC doesn't turns off, just the screen for a few moments!

Here's a print of all my mods installed:

As you can see, I don't use heavy texture mods, but still my game lags a lot near solitude and major holds.

By the way, my GPU is an ASUS GTX 550 Ti (1GB) and I played Skyrim without that terrible stuttering for months (with the same mods).

I already tried to disable all my mods, but didn't made a difference.

My Skyrimprefs.txt is as default, my NVIDIA drivers are updated and I did tried to roll back the previous drivers, but no luck.

I even formated my system, so don't bother about these things.

I've tried Hialgo's boost, background boost, Skyrim Project Optimization, lowering the graphics settings (everything), reinstalled Skyrim from scratch, set Vsync off (or "adaptative" in NVIDIA control panel) and turned mouse acceleration off, but the stutter stays.

My GPU is not overheating and all the problem just happens on Skyrim.
I have The Witcher 2, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, BF4 and Assassin's Creed IV running quite well on the same PC.

By stuttering, do you mean dropping FPS? Does it freeze completely for a few seconds?

 

What is the file size of your save?

Yes, I mean huge FPS drop when looking around, but the drop vanishes if I stop the camera on the exact same spot where it had stutter.

It's like the game was trolling me. :(

My savegame files are short.

About 5MB.

I know that orphaned scripts from mods you have uninstalled can often be the problem for this stuttering. Have you tried using the Save Game Script cleaner to detect and remove these old scripts?

Hadn't tried this one yet.

Thank you. I'll give it a try.

Tried, but it doesn't make a difference. :sad:

 

 

Hmm... apologies if these suggestions are obvious to you and you're already tried them, but it can't hurt to ask:

 

Have you recently installed a new mod, and do you use BOSS or something similar to check for conflicts/requirements or to organise load order?

When you completely reinstalled Skyrim, did you do so through steam only or did you delete the Skyrim folder from your HDD/SSD completely?

Have you checked your processes for anything bizarre going on while you play Skyrim?

This simple thing also really helped my FPS and fixed CTDs:

 

1. Google "CFF Explorer" and download that tool

2. Run the program and click file > open. Open up your TESV.exe located in your Skyrim folder.

3. On the left, click on "File Header" and then click on the "Click here" cell in the bottom-right of the grid.

4. Check "App can handle >2gb address space"

5. Save and close.

I'll try BOSS and see if something comes up.

My Skyrim doesn't use Steam.

As for the rest... no, nothing unusual on task manager.

Just tried CFF explorer and no luck.

The stutter stays.

I find it really annoying to have a game that is obviously running at near 60 FPS and by no reason it just stutters when I move the camera. :(
