I originally posted last friday, and after 4 1/2 days, and trying every suggested fix, it still goes to the Black Screen of Death, with audio loop and and hard reset. I wish people would stop posting to change the audio settings or play in windows mode, as they were the first things many of us tried, and have absolutly no effect on the crashes. I dont know if it is true, but i read that the next patch is for the xbox only?!?! For textures?!?!? What about the people who havent even gotten out of the excecution seen yet?!?!?! I have already sent in a ticket to bethesda, and got the "change your audio settings" reply. Are they even reading these threads? I think they need to concentrate on the pc version, and wait on the console tweeks. Does anyone now a better way to contact bethesda than thier stupid ticket system? A way i will actually know they read what i wrote? Im feeling very neglected, or dismissed by this company, and i cant put in words my frustration and anger over this unplayable game.

Sorry I don't have a solution, I'm just happy I found other people with the same problem. Not that I'm happy you all have the problem, it's just, atleast I'm not alone. My problem is the exact same as the original post, but my system is a little weaker. Windows 7, AMD Phenom 8450 Triple-Core 2.10 GHz, installed Memory (RAM): 6 GB, 64-bit OS, Nividia GeForce 9400GT. I have spent the last 12 hours downloading drivers, updateing everything, changing audio to 16 bit, 44100 HZ. Another problem I had was that when I finially got Steam installed, (gave me error - Win32 Error 5 " not authorized"), then I tried to install skyrim, it went and started downloading the game off the Steam internet site rather than from my hardcopy disk I just bought. I think I have it installed properly now, but I dont know because I'm not good with computers, a real compurter bo-bo.... anyways, I dont know if that maybe has something to do with the black screen/audio freeze crash problem. I can load the game, play the game, it looks, sounds and plays great, but keep getting that damn Black screen crash 10-20 in to the game. Im still in the opening scene! I cannot express politely, (Canadian), just how pissed off, annoyed and depressed I am over this, like many, I have been waiting what seems like forever for 11-11-11, and this is such a let down. So much for the weekend...
