Since this is the 3rd time this bug happens, I thought I would just post it here, maybe I'm just doing something wrong. When I approached a Dragons nest (not sure how they are named, they are usually on top of a mountain and have a Word wall) and got attacked by a blood dragon, my character automatically took the Dragons soul before the Dragon could even die. Sadly this didn't kill the Dragon, as he proceeded to fly around in his Skeleton Form. From this point onwards I could not deal any damage to him anymore so i had to quickload. Now this happened 2 times with Blood Dragons and due to me having a high level I could dispatch them quick enough in the air before they could close to me. The 3rd time however was with an ancient Dragon that attacked me at Solitude. Since I messed it up with my save games (I went into several buildings while not seeing the dragon in the city) , I can't avoid this dragon and he annihilates the entire town every time. Due to him being ancient there is no way to kill him before he gets close to me. If I just try to hide somewhere he just kills the town by himself anyway (which is what I'm trying to avoid). Any ideas?

I know this might be a little unconventional, but I'm basically looking for a Mod that tells me if I have already read a book, before I open it. It could be something similar to a check list, but instead of looking on a list, maybe the name of the book could appear cursive after I have read it, or a little check mark next to the name or a simple "Completed" in the name. Skyrim has so many of those things, and even though I like reading them, I usually only notice in between that I had read that book already (this especially applies to the stories that have several parts). I know a lot of people aren't actually paying attention to any of the books in the game world (shame on your they are great :P), but I still hope that someone can help me out with this mod request.

I'm kinda lost. I'm lurking around at level 30 and I have yet to encounter a single Storm- or Frost Atronach. All I'm finding in the wilderness are Flame Atronach's and every Conjurer I encounter refuses to summon the Storm or Frost Version. I would love to see them in action, because they look pretty cool (and I need their salts), so I would love if someone could point me in a direction of where to look for them. Much appreciated.

Seems a bit unlikely. While Skyrim is certainly not too well optimized and thus forces more load on your graphics card, there is no way, that it needs more resources then playing Metro 2033 or Battlefield 3 on full settings with all the DX11 features enabled. Besides these crashes seem to be very much reproducible, at least to some extent (eg. opening the map, riding a horse, getting close to whiterun etc.), which makes it sound more like the issue is on the games side.

I wouldn't say that. Many users have this problem only happening in Skyrim, while all the other games that got released recently (And are way more demanding) run just fine. To me it looks like, that the developers didn't test their game properly on enough hardware setups before releasing it.

I would love to see a Mod that replaces all the third person actions with 1st person. This would include: - Riding on a horse - Most of the finishing moves - Werewolf combat - Crafting

You both seem to have different issues then the one in this thread, so any solutions posted here will probably not really help you (I suggest you look somewhere else). We were specifically talking about Skyrim shutting down the PC or forcing you to restart your PC (Due to issue with the video card). If "just" the game crashes, it's a different bug.

Yeah, either 6870, or 6950. It can't be entirely related to that though. There are plenty of people with those 2 video cards who can play it just fine.

The issue reminds me very clearly of the same thing I had with Dead Island. Changed from HD 5850 to HD 6950 and got those crashes. Now I don't have Skyrim yet, so I have no idea if I will have this problem again (hopefully not), but lowering settings (and increasing fan speed) in Dead Island back then did not fix the issue, it only took longer for the "crash" to happen. (I would strongly advise against continuously trying this with different settings, chances are high you are damaging your hardware over time.) The issue is 100% with the game and seems to happen mostly with the HD 6xxx series. I blame both games being terrible console ports. Hopefully this will get fixed for Skyrim at some point, because it has never been done in Dead Island (And I have given up on the latter).
