Constant Instability (Random Clean CTDs and Freezups)

[Zipzopdippidybopbop]

Allright lads; I've been playing Skyrim (latest version with all DLC) and I installed a few mods, includin the old Monster Mod among other things.

However I can't help but notice a lot of instability in the game, with it sometimes crashing (although simple freezing happens a lot too, prompting me to Ctrl/Alt/Del to get out).

The freezing only appears to happen in open world spaces, although as I post this now I was in a tomb (fighting a draugr) and i had a plain clean CTD happen.

I think the plain CTDs are entirely random, with the freezing occurring with a bit of lag/stutter JUST before the game fully freezes. Any ideas?

Using Mod Manager, BOSS and the latest SKSE (as well as the script speeding up plugin for it)

Modlist (and load order) is as follows:

Replace your load order with a BOSS log (with the messages), include the list of plugins not recognized by BOSS if one is generated. Enclose them in spoiler tags so they won't clutter the screen.

 

Have you made any tweaks or edits to the game ini files? If so, post them too (into spoiler tags).

 

Have you installed any mods that do not come with plugins, such as texture or body replacers? If so, list them.

 

What is your system specs?

How do I make a BOSS log?

How do I make a BOSS log?

Hm...didn't you say you were already using BOSS? Just ctrl-a and copy/paste the log that is generated every time you run BOSS, then stick it into a spoiler tag.

[Zipzopdippidybopbop]

Thanks; finally - where is the option for spoiler tags - I can only find "quote" and "code"
