  1. Game runs fine in the world, cities, and some dungeons, but other dungeons drop my FPS down to ~3. I obviously can't play the game this way. I have a Radeon HD 5700 Series GPU and this is my mod list.

  2. For some reason I now can't use lock picks or keys. When I click on the door the nothing happens (doesn't switch to lock picking screen or automatically use a key even if I have it).

  3. Well, today I decided my card was unusable in this condition, so it was worth messing it up to try and clean it better, and I think I'm going to be glad I did.

     

    I've never taken apart a GPU before, but it was surprisingly easy. Got everything unscrewed and separated and dusted off the card. The heat sink was very dirty (easily 50% obstructed with heavy dust). The thermal paste is more like chalk at this point, and after googling around and finding that it's pretty easy to replace, I've decided to do that (found a gift card to Best Buy in my wallet, woohoo). I'm about to head to Best Buy for the thermal paste, and also pick up some cotton swabs and iso alcohol. Hopefully I'll be able to put everything back together with no hitches. Wish me luck!

     

    Thanks for your help guys (especially Chevy).

  4. When you cleaned it how did you clean it?

     

    From a quick search on the card you want to keep it under 90C.

     

    I just checked the fan for dust and took out what I could. Is there any advice you can give on how to clean it best? The fan is fairly difficult to reach, as the card is attached near the bottom of my rig and it's on the bottom side so you have about 2 inches to work with. I'm probably missing lots of dirt dust/now that I'm thinking about it. :/

  5. Hey thanks for the replies. I was out of town and forgot to check this.

     

    I'm using MSI Afterburner, and my graphics card pretty rapidly gets up to ~108 C. I know this is really high, but I have my fan running at 100% at all times. I'm in what you could call a low income situation at the moment, so getting a new one is completely out of the question. Am I f***ed? Is there any way to try to reduce the temp? My fan is clean, so It's not dust doing the damage I wouldn't think (I cleaned it recently).

     

    My card is a Radeon HD 5700 Series with stock fan AFAIK, I bought it new about five years ago so it's been heavily used.

     

    Again thanks for the help guys. I'm getting the feeling that this may be a lost battle until I can get a new card, but if you have any ideas I'll try 'em. :smile:

     

    EDIT: I'm just assuming it's the graphics card overheating, because I did notice the temp before, but if it's something else I should check or watch in combination to the GPU let me know. I'm not very knowledgeable about hardware so your expertise is appreciated.

  6. I posted about this problem once before and never was able to find out why it's happening, and now it's getting worse.

     

    I'm playing along with the same mods and same settings as I always use, and everything runs smoothly, but then at random intervals my FPS goes from >30 to <20. The only way I've found to fix this problem is to shut my comp down, let it cool off for a bit, then boot it up again. Problem is, that only buys my so much more time before another random drop, and the time in between is getting shorter and shorter. I just turned my comp on for the first time today and only got about 10 minutes of playing time before my FPS bombed.

     

    Please, I'm desperate for help. This makes Skyrim unplayable for me. :(

  7. You may need to do a defrag. I would suggest finding a really good free one (though, I will be honest, I don't think any free ones are worth it).

     

    You could try using Contig, which is a nice super defrag type program for specific folders.

     

    Defragging once a week keeps my skyrim running silky smooth. I definitely notice performance drops after uninstalling/installing mods and programs so.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know about defragging (relatively computer illiterate).

     

    After I ran the virus scan I got another hour or so of regular gameplay then it randomly slid down again. This is making me worried.

     

    Well, running a defrag now.

  8. "and nothing that should affect performance", is probably a clue. Rarely, actual failures can cause a performance drop, but, almost always, its a recent change, and you may not have made it.

     

    First, "virtually nothing" is not "nothing"; what changes did you make?

     

    Second, do you allow auto-updates on anything that might affect your GPU, video drivers, or Skyrim itself (especially, Steam and subscribed mods)? Even a Windows update can sometimes impact performance.

     

    Third, check the Event Viewer and see if your system is suddenly complaining about something.

     

    Finally, our old friend, malware, can sneak in and break things. Can you run a virus scan or MRT and see if they find anything?

    Literally the only thing I've changed is a small add on to Vilja follower to make her eyes green (it's from the official Vilja Nexus page, not a third party change).

     

    Here's the weird part; I tried updating my drivers yesterday to try and fix the problem, and I started a new game and the problem was fixed. However, I got several hours in, and the FPS tanked again at a very random place. I was just in a field in Whiterun and all the sudden my FPS went from ~40 to <20. After a reboot of my PC, my FPS again went back to normal, then three minutes later, tanked once more. This is insane.

     

    I'm running virus protection right now. Will post results.

     

    Malewarebytes and Spybot S&D found a couple problems, we'll see if that fixes my issue. I sure hope it does. :(

  9. EDIT/UPDATE - I've equipped the item to my character with the console and am having weird issues. The weapon shows up on my character, wields fine, attacks/blocks fine, but when I try to open my inventory or sheath my weapon, it crashes. If I try to load a save where I'm holding the weapon, it CTD's after the loading screen. ???

     

    It ALWAYS crashes when I look at the item in the inventory, even if I'm holding the weapon and swinging it fine.

     

    I've been doing some basic mesh work on some weapons from a mod that's very customization friendly. I had been modifying weapons in NifSkope (changing/copying/pasting blocks, adding weapons from one mod to a related mod), and had successfully made dozen of different meshes. They worked flawlessly, but for some reason now when I try to load the custom mesh it crashes the game once I hover my mouse over the item in the inventory.

     

    This is really odd, because I'm doing literally nothing different from when it was working (and have even had lapses after I started having problems when it wouldn't do this and I thought it was fixed but then it wasn't). The mesh is even the finished mesh that I had saved after successfully testing it. I've nuked skyrim and reinstalled everything, and done all the troubleshooting I can think of, and I have no idea what to do.

     

    Please help, any ideas are greatly appreciated. :smile:

  10. Right after Galmar hands me the Stormcloak armor my game CTD's. I've tried loading an earlier save and finishing the quest with the console, but as soon as I close the console I CTD anyway.

     

    I can't for the life of me think of a mod that I use that would mess with this quest; anybody had this before or know how to fix it?

     

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  11. I started a new game, and I get a CTD between the time Torolf gets fried and when I get to Helgen Keep every time. Usually it's right after Alduin kills Torolf, but sometimes it's right before I get into the keep. I can't get past this part of the game.

     

    The weird thing is I had this problem once before, and I fixed it by properly uninstalling Dual Wield Sheath Redux which I had been using, but this time I havn't used that mod since. I have no idea what to do.

     

    Thanks immensely for any help.

  12. I just started a new game, and when I reach the point where Alduin kills Torolf (or a few seconds after), I keep getting a CTD. I've run BOSS multiple times, nuked my save folder and made a completley new game, checked my mod list to see if there's any conflicts that I can spot with my naked eye, nothing is working. It always CTD's at that same spot.

     

    I've also noticed that if I load a save after Alduin appears my character freezes, and I can't look around or move. Loading a save from before he shows up (during the beheading scene or before character creation) works fine.

     

    Any idea what's up or what I can do to try to fix this? I really want my Skyrim working. :sad: Thanks for any help.

  13. I'm getting the error that I can't download a specific mod more than 50 times. I was trying to download a mod, and the servers were busy/offline, so I kept trying it periodically and I guess I hit the cap by accident. I wasn't aware that you could only D/L that many times.

     

    Anyway, is it possible to have this cap lifted? I need this particular mod pretty badly.

     

    This is the mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/24426

     

    Thanks for any help.

  14. That's where I'm getting the error, when I try to manually download. When I try to download with NMM, it just does nothing (doesn't D/L, doesn't bring up NMM, nothing).

     

    I'm able to download other mods just fine, and NMM is working perfectly otherwise.

  15. I'm getting the error that I can't download a specific mod more than 50 times. I was trying to download a mod, and the servers were busy/offline, so I kept trying it periodically and I guess I hit the cap by accident. I wasn't aware that you could only D/L that many times.

    Thanks for any help.

  16. mmm, i've had this happen before i just kept on trying until it worked. Maybe try clearing your browser cache it might reset it so it doesn't give you that error?

     

    Still getting the 50 cap error. I would assume the they would track that via your account on the nexus, not via browser history.

     

    Anyway, I tried clearing it and no good. :(

  17. I must have been doing something wrong while installing SKSE. I just unpacked everything to /skyrim and it's working fine now. :biggrin:

     

    Thanks much for both your guys' help.
