Skyrim crashes randomly, tried all recommended fixes.

Alright, I know you've all heard this before. Some poor gamer whining about how their game crashes without any prompts, just quits to desktop, and they're too lazy to search the internet to find fixes for their common problem. Here's the thing. I'm not one of those lazy gamers. I've searched for hours, did every fix I came across, and still my game crashes. Doesn't even leave a note. Cheap bastard.
Before you ask, yes, I have downloaded the 4GB patch, I've done the fix for 32bit Windows Vista (yes, I know it's outdated; my mom's cheap and won't get me Windows 8 ), I've run BOSS, TES5Edit, FNIS, deleted all of my saved games and started a new one, and verified the game cache from the Steam properties. Here's another weird thing I just found. Though my game crashed, no cool little icon that says "Skyrim" on my taskbar, Task Manager still sees that it's open. Not sure if that's related or not, but thought I should include it.
Also, to answer the question that must have been bugging you for the past three minutes of reading this, I do mod. A lot. I have about 100 mods installed at the moment, and most of them are cosmetic. I'm a vain b*tch, okay? I need this sort of stuff. If needs arise, I will post my load order, but both BOSS and TES5Edit haven't found any problems in my load order. I've followed all of Gopher's tutorials, so I'm almost positive I've installed everything correctly. That man is a life saver.
I know someone is going to ask for specs, so this is what I have:
6GB of RAM installed
Windows Vista (ewww)
32Bit
Graphics card is an ATI Radon HD 5670

If you need anything else, you might have to tell me where to find it. I may be pretty good at modding and gaming, but I am sh*t when it comes to anything electronic.
Any help you can give would be much appreciated. I've been dealing with this for about a week now and I really need my Skyrim fix. It's like an alcohol addiction for nerds.

*EDIT*
Game used to crash about every two minutes. At first, I thought it was because I was fast traveling, but I decided to play tag with the kids in Whiterun and it crashed then too. Deleted all my saved games, got all the way through the tutorial, and was almost to Riverwood when it crashed again. It crashes now when I try to access one of my old save games, doesn't even let me load in. But somehow, I can get through the tutorial and get halfway to Riverwood before it crashes. I'm going to uninstall all of my mods and try it then, but I'm not sure if that'll work.
I have not made any tweaks or edits to the ini files. I'm not that good, for one thing, and I just know I'd mess something up if I did.

First, you don't need the '4GB patch' for Skyrim. Skyrim is already LAA enabled since patch whatever. So assuming your Skyrim is updated, you should revert back to the backup exe made prior to applying the '4GB patch', or verify files with Steam.

 

Second, since you are using mods, you need to post details about what mods you are using. So start by posting your BOSS log here (with the messages), just copy/paste the contents of the log and enclose it in a set of spoiler tags so it won't clutter the screen. Do the same for the list of plugins not recognized by BOSS if one is generate.

 

Third, we need details about your CTDs: when/where/how often/what you were doing. Anything you have noticed that might suggest a 'pattern' that will help narrow down the cause of the CTDs. Otherwise it would be like fishing for needles in a haystack.

 

Fourth, list any mod you have installed which does not come with plugins, for example, body or texture replacers. This will help us determine if your mod combinations are exceeding your system specs, the game engine limits, or the fact that you are running on a 32-bit OS.

 

Fifth, have you made any tweaks or edits to the game ini files? If so, list the edits or tweaks you have made. This may be relevant to tracking the cause of the CTDs.

CTD during game is mainly a problem with the script handler

 

Skyrim uses Papyrus, which is very slow and inefficient for heavy scripts

 

Just fix the skyrim.ini file and give more time for script execution.

 

Well, at least it amazingly reduced the script delay for me, and I haven't got a CTD ever since.

Tried this, and now it just crashes when I try to load a game. I even tried creating another new game, still crashes when it tries to load. I undid whatever I had to do to get 4GB working, deleted the patch as well. I cleaned all of dirty edits as well, but now BOSS doesn't show that I have Skyrim installed. Not sure what I did, but I'm thinking editing the ini file has something to do with it.
