RobinHood2005 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Hey guys, I seem to have quite a strange problem. I installed Skyrim a couple of days ago and have been playing it since, but I seem to have encountered a problem that slightly irritates me. You see, every 20-30 mins, my game inexplicably freezes. The sound starts looping and the only way to exit is to Ctrl+Alt+Delete, sign out, then quit when Steam begins to close or to shut off my computer entirely. I have no idea what to do. My specs are as follows: -i7 7700k-GTX 1050 Ti Cerberus (Overclocked to +180 Core Clock and +250 Memory Clock)-Samsung 860 Evo (The drive on which Skyrim is installed)-G Skill Trident Z 16GB 3200MHz RAM. I also use the following mods: -Immersive sounds compendium 2.1-Total Character Makeover 1.2-Unofficial Skyrim Patch 4.1.3b-Open Cities Skyrim-Ars Metallica-Lanterns of Skyrim-Realistic Water Two-Realistic Ragdolls-Even Better Quest Objectives v1.6.3-Immersive Citizens AI Overhaul-Immersive Patrols-The Joy of Perspective 2.0.0-Man Those Borders-Point the Way-Rich Skyrim Merchants-Detailed Rugs SE-Ruins Clutter Improved-4K Diffuse 2K Normalmap Whiterun-4K Diffuse 2K Normalmap Bridges-4K Diffuse 2K Normalmap Farmhouse-4K Diffuse 2K Normalmap High Hrothgar-4K Diffuse 2K Normalmap Markarth-4K Diffuse 2K Normalmap Mines-4K Diffuse 2K Normalmap Riften-4K Diffuse 2K Normalmap Solitude-4K Diffuse 2K Normalmap Windhelm-4K Diffuse 2K Normalmap Mines-A mod that shows up as Newwwwww-2347 in Nexus (probably also a 4K texture mod)-Skyrim Flora Overhaul-Better Vampires-The Paarthurnax Dilemma-A Quality World Map- Classic with All Roads-Achievements Mods Enabler-SKSE INI Pre Download (w/No Warpaint Tweak)-Enhanced Blood Textures I have suspected in the past that it may be due to VRAM, which runs at about 3700MB when I run the game. However, the game seems to crash even when the VRAM usage is relatively low (such as when I am indoors) and also crash after removing a lot of the mods on the list above. My VRAM usage seems to rise no matter what I do. It must also be noted that my RAM is set to 2133MHz in the BIOS and that I am running Skyrim at the highest settings by default. So far, I have searched far and wide for a solution on the internet but can't seem to find one. Can you guys help me? Thanks.

HeyYou Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Turn off the over-clocking on your vid card. Beth games don't seem to care for that overmuch. Is there some task scheduled that your PC is attempting to do every 30 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood2005 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 I don't believe my PC has tasks scheduled in the background, apart from, maybe, my anti-virus updating every one hour or so. Besides, I have played Far Cry 5 on my PC also and have never experienced similar problems. I'll turn off my overclock though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set the oc back to factory clock, u will not turn the 1050 ti into a rocket, ram too (if overclocked), Intel don't rly benefits thaat much from more mhz like ryzen. Also, you are limiting the performance of your rig with the i7 / 1050 ti combo.. Anything else u could try, lower the settings, if u use dsr, disable it too and stick to your native resolution.Make sure everything is up2date, directx/directx from the game folder, nvidia driver (worth a try, a clean install with ddu in safe mode) What about your temps while playing skyrim? Instead of all the 4k stuff, remove them completly and try vanilla, hd or max. 2k textures. The 1050 ti will have more or less a hard time if u wanna go diehard with 4k textures. Also any enb and/or reshade running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood2005 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Hey guys, as much as I don't want to jinx myself, I strongly believe that I have found a solution to my problem. Turns out I had to go into 'Services' in Windows 10, and then stop and disable something called 'Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel', as it seems that it conflicts with the game. I have played for at least an hour after doing this and the game has not crashed or frozen since. On a separate note, do you guys know of any HD snow texture mods compatible with the 'Footprints' and 'SSE Texture Pack' by Osmodius? I need one since the vanilla textures for snow look absolutely horrendous. Thx I also changed a lot of the mods listed above. Maybe that helped.

RobinHood2005 Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) ISSUE SOLVED + NOTES: The list of mods is inaccurate and outdated. To sum up, disabling Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel in Windows, removing ELFX (Enhanced Lights and FX) and upgrading my GPU seemed to work. Lighting mods always seem to cause trouble in games.
