Suggest you might want check the temperature of your video card for overheating issues. You can use CPUID HWMonitor to do this. I was playing Skyrim with no issues at all then slowly added more mods and updates and somewhere along the way it started getting lockups (i.e. video card would crash but sound still playing only option was hard reboot as k/bd mouse were also locked up.) They were random well thought that at first but seems related to the room temperature on hindsight adding cooling for the Video card has cure all my crashes. :dance:

Hi, I also just in the last 2 week have been having the same issues, randomly 2 of my 3 monitors would lock up turn off with no video signal the third however (on another V/card) I could continue to see but my pc was locked up, a hard reboot was the only choice. (with the Skyrim sound playing on for a while.) Oh I run Win 7 64 bit. I run CPUID HWMonitor on the monitor I could watch even after the crash locked up my PC, it still showed me that display and I noticed my video card was over heating (92`c) I took the side off and stuck a desktop fan there to cool everything and ran the game for several hours (with it blowing air in it) (with the temp staying around 56`c) without a lockup compared to early that day when I was locking up every 10 to 15 mins or sooner. I have no idea what changed and why I use to be able to play Skyrim without this extreme fix but for me seems its the issue. (have to look at other cooling don't want a desktop fan there fulltime) Hope this helps you. :)
