I have cleaned everything according to that guide and thank you for the advice. I suppose the texture pack combiner is a bad idea as well?

I just recently did a completely fresh install and modded to [insane0hflex](http://www.reddit.co...ods_for_skyrim/) mod setup figuring if hes been using it for his youtube channel for so long it must be a fairly stable mod setup. Well, I am getting fairly random, time wise, ctd's but only in exterior locations (outdoors and outside cities). I cannont figue out why. I have used wrye bash, BOSS, and TES5Edit to try and ensure a stable setup. I will go ahead and link my BOSS log, skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini. BOSS Log: http://pastebin.com/SHbe9yau Skyrim.ini: http://pastebin.com/8wS5waut Skyrimprefs.ini: http://pastebin.com/mSkmV8Ch DXDiag: http://pastebin.com/b8ruzgS9 I have no idea what the issue could be. It seems not matter how I set up skyrim I have issues like this. I REALLY want to get skyrim working again (hasn't seemed to be stable for last few patches). Any help would be greatly appreciated!! EDIT: Reuploaded DXDiag since for some reason the last readout showed an incorrect processor (how the hell does that even happen??)

I am having the same issue. I guess it must be something with the BOSS servers (I have 1 recognized Skyrim.esm and 46 unrecognized including Update.esm, Dawnguard.esm and Hearthfire.esm)

Probably one of the mods you downloaded the guy got in there and rotated it. If you have creation kit you can just load breezehome and rotate it back (if you know which mod is causing the issue at least) This is probably one of those go through and turn mods off and back on one by one kinda deals :P

Some ENB's COMPLETELY screw night eye (nice noise, some distortion but no difference in lighting/coloring) Lucky for you I know a mod that fixes it! If you change ENB's test it because those that don't "disable" night eye will damn near blind you with this mod active. "Night Eye spell potion Tweaks for ENB and Project Reality": http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21127

Man, in all honesty I am a little lost on this one too. If TWO complete reinstalls didn't fix it......I hate to say it but you may actually have to call tech support:P

Ok, so it cant be mods because you have none, it doesnt sound like hardware since other games are running fine and catalyst isnt forcing settings so it must be a software issue. I hate to suggest this as I know what a pain it is but have you tried redeleting your skyrim folders completely in steam and my games to see if maybe something downloaded funny? I wish I could offer a better a solution but if you have no mods, no hardware issues, and reverifiying isnt helping thats the only thing I can think of left to try:P

Its doing it after a clean install? Are you sure you deleted ALL your data and ini files? SKSE, anything, delete it ALL and reinstall it all and it should fix that kind of issue. The only reason it should be doing that is some kind of residual left from the mod and an actual clean install would clear that.

That's cause when I looked at my settings it didn't tell me which exactly, just said 'HD 5400'. How much do these new ones cost? 5400 is way outdated. I got my Sapphire Radeon 6670 for $50 off newegg. I think the newest models are about 299 but you could easily upgrade what you have for under that. Check out www.newegg.com and www.tigerdirect.com for the best deals on hardware. Keep in mind though that, generally speaking, a laptop (gaming or not) will not compare to a desktop. Due to how laptops are designed, everything is confined, the wattage is lower, heat is a much bigger issue etc.

Have you reinstalled any mods at all? Verified the integrity of the cache through steam just in case? It just seems very odd that a clean install would do that, I could understand if you had just uninstalled something or added a new mod etc but a fresh download? Are you forcing anything like AA or Anisotropic etc through catalyst at a different value than skyrim? That can sometimes cause...issues...Other than that I am fairly stumped. Did you compress any textures or add/remove any textures?

Had a freeze in game (was casting firebolts at an impreial courier near Saarthal) and have the papyrus logs but can't make heads or tails of them. I can include BOSS logs and ini files if need be as well. Running on an AMD A6 APU at 2.6ghz Sapphire Radeon 6670 GB VRAM 8GB RAM

The latest version is quite customizable. There are two versions actually, the one that adds new dragon types (similar to dragons diversified) and one that doesnt. Both versions allow you to alter health, armor, damage, resistances etc so you can leave all that at vanilla levels or raise them way up to were dragon fights are truly epic. (sure theyre kind of hard in the beginning but by level 30 you just start slaughtering dragons with very little effort) So he can alter dragons how much he wants and still get away from that annoying dragon mentallity of "HEY!! DEER!!!, EW!! GUARD!! LOOK!! BANDIT!!!" all while your hitting it with spell, sword and bow....

If you think its a missing file try reverifying with steam as that will recover lost files (possible from a mod killing it?) This would be the easiest fix (and easiest is always best if it works!) Normally I would say try it on a different character but thats a lot of work to simply test a bug. Do you have any other mods that effect werewolves?

Ok so I have a couple of possible fixes (no guarantees on anything lol) 1. Texture Pack Combiner: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20801 This nifty little tool takes the 3 best texture packs (and tons of optionals that I highly recommend) and combines them for you so you get the best from each mod without lots of overwrites, that could possibly fix the issues your having texture wise. 2. Skyrim Flora Overhaul: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/141 I think this one may be in the combiner (not 100% sure) but if its just plants this one may help 3. Lush Trees: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3385 This one should fix the tree textures 4. If all else fails, delete the data folder, reverify through steam (this will redownload all the orginal files and kill the residual changes) and reinstall the mods you do want As for the ENB, try the 0.119 version as it should fix the water issues. Also see if you have green water fix installed (for some reason, for me at least, nmm said it uninstalled but left it active) if it is there get rid of it because its causing the issue, if its not, get it and it will fix the issue. Here is the link: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14007 Also check out Guide to ENB Series mods: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/8005 That will help you get the ENBseries.ini set up for maximum performance, explain what each ini tweak does so you can customize and hopefully help you figure out future ENB problems. Lastly, if your on an ATI card (as I am) you may have a few minor hiccups with ENB's. Borris has fixed most of the ATI problems in the last few versions though.

What mods do you have? Also stay away from those prostitutes! Sorry, I couldn't help it. My guess is that a mod is doing it.

Ok cleaned up mods a little, deleted unnecessary files. Went back through and cleaned files. Saw I have been posting the wrong ini's (ones from skyrim directory not mygames/skyrim) SO heres the correct stuff. BOSS LOG: Skyrim,ini: SkyrimPrefs.ini Got rid of some of the script heavy stuff SKYTESTSkyrimEconomics :( Deleted all save and gonna start fresh that way and HOPEFULLY do not need ANOTHER fresh install:P

Ok now its freezing about 10 minutes routinely. New BOSS log and INI in pastebin link to save space. I really hope I can get this fixed.....I love my Skyrim lol. http://pastebin.com/bA1Zt0zs

If this doesnt work, delete the files from the car mod, and reverify integrity in steam and if the original files are missing it should add them back for you.

I believe one of these may help: Skyrim Redone: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9286 ACE: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10037 DUEL: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2700 I think all three of them (I know Skyrim Redone does) have stamina drain changes to combat.

Well none of those mods should be effecting lighting or sky so thats likely not it. Whenever you click anything other than "Use Application Settings" or whatever it says in Catalyst it will force the setting chosen. It looks like your forcing 8 samples of anisotropic filtering, which is fine, but make sure that in your skyrim settings its also at 8 samples. For some reason skyrim can get somewhat temperamental about forcing a different setting. Also are you using any ENB's or not? Sometime's ENBs can cause some interesting glitches. You may also try going through Catalyst and changing things one at a time to try and find a culprit (I know it is a HUGE pain:P) "Surface optimization: Enabled" is what I would try first if the anisotropic filtering match doesnt work. You may also want to try TES5Edit (not sure if there is a dutch translation) to see if there are any dirty edits in your main files (NEVER TOUCH SKYRIM.ESM THOUGH!!) I know that Update.esm, Dawnguard.esm and Hearthfire.esm tend to have "ditry edits" which are the same information readded and can cause some issues. Hopefully that helps. If not, let us know so we can keep trying to get to the bottom of the problem.

Are you using any mods? If your using ENB I know some of the older versions of ENB have major issues with ATI cards. Have your tried re-validating your game cache in steam? Are you forcing anything through Catalyst? Are your drivers, DirectX etc all up to date? My best guess would be either ATI drivers or a graphics mod, ENB, Mintys Lightning, Climates of Tamriel etc.

No problem, I just changed computers and the other one didn't have this sort of problem. I've no idea why though. I don't really do it often, I just wanted to make sure if I needed to be on guard if I wanted to make another character or not. I may start another one if I get bored and then go back to the original, however, not that often. Well you could try Alternate Start Live another Life and skip helgen all together http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9557 I use windows 7 personally, but from what I have heard there Windows 8 is a nightmare for gaming. Don't know the specifics but thats the rumor at least lol.

Hmmm CTD's seem to be gone but now im freezing after 10-20 minutes:P <div><br></div><div>Trying Skyrim Mods Complex Organizer: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13529#content see how that works lol</div>

The crashes seem to be withing 5 minutes to well over an hour lol. GPU and CPU temps are fine, RAM checked out and no background programs like mumble or anything like that. Didn't see that, deactivated HBetterbows.esp so well see how that plays out. Thank you both for the suggestions!!

Well you don't give a whole lot to work with, lol, but generally load order is the culprit. Get Wyre Bash (has BOSS included) and run BOSS to get your load order right. Also when downloading new mods make sure and check for incompatibilities so that you don't end up with headaches (BOSS will inform you most of the time if two or more mods are incompatible)
