Hello

After a good few days of solid bug-free gameplay, I now keep getting freezes which are apparently caused by memory leak errors or low memory.

This is despite having 4GB of RAM (ie higher than Skyrim's 3.1GB limit, I believe)

Sysinfo:

 

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601)

Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130828-1532)
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
System Model: GA-MA785GMT-UD2H
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
Processor: AMD Athlon II X3 445 Processor (3 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 4092MB RAM
Page File: 1166MB used, 3947MB available

 

 

EDIT: GPU info added:

 

Card name: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series [it's a 7870]
DAC type: Internal DAC(400MHz)
Display Memory: 3824 MB
Dedicated Memory: 2034 MB
Shared Memory: 1790 MB
Current Mode: 1600 x 900 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Driver Name: aticfx64.dll,aticfx64.dll,aticfx64.dll,aticfx32,aticfx32,aticfx32,atiumd64.dll,atidxx64.dll,atidxx64.dll,atiumdag,atidxx32,atidxx32,atiumdva,atiumd6a.cap,atitmm64.dll
Driver File Version: 8.17.0010.1230 (English)
Driver Version: 13.152.1.8000 [this is latest, downloaded a few days ago]

 

 

I'm basically running STEP 2.2.7 mods + a few other minor ones.

 

I would appreciate any help or pointers people could give me to help me to fix the problem.

 

Below is the Windows error message I get (don't know how to post screenshot...). Note that I don't usually CTD, the game just freezes or becomes very unresponsive and I have to quit, and have this message on desktop:

 

"Close programs to prevent information loss

Your computer is low on memory, save your files and close these programs:

Skyrim"

 

My windows event log says:

"Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: TESV.exe (3668) consumed 2249224192 bytes, Steam.exe (1740) consumed 157433856 bytes, and CCC.exe (2992) consumed 113393664 bytes."

 

My papyrus log (I suppose mainly the last few lines are useful but I put it all just in case):

Maybe unrelated, but added just in case, my windows event log has the following error just about a minute before the last freezeup:

"The Desktop Window Manager has encountered a fatal error (0x8007000e)"

 

If anyone knows enough to be able to interpret any of this it would be great. I just want to play the game!!!

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I read through that thread: very interesting and potentially a solution, but, I still have a few issues, some of them the same as the person you are trying to help in the other thread (eg: a lot of it is too technical for me). Would appreciate if you could help further.

* I also my pagefile low while following guides for setting up Windows on an SSD. IIRC it talked about minimising writing to the SSD to reduce wear and tear. Is this wrong?

* I also have OS (Win7) on SSD along with some applications, and Skyrim. I have an HDD for data (music, photos...) So should I move the pagefile to the HDD??

* Is there a way to reduce the amount of memory being used by Steam and CCC during gameplay?

* What other things can I do to reduce memory usage in game? I'm assuming that the memory problems are linked to RAM and not VRAM? So would reducing texture quality etc not help at all?

 

Unfortunately i can't get to the PC with Skyrim on right now to test the pagefile thing, so that will have to wait, but if you have any more answers that would be great

The best solution you have mentioned above were correct "Red Items" you can just turn the steam off. or disable in your firewall is the simple solution

1. This might help overall: Skyrim Project Stability

 

2. Once you have logged into Steam and it is running, switch it to offline mode. Steam will still run but it won't access the internet and won't take up any additional resources other than what is needed to run Skyrim.

 

I don't know how MO is set up but it wouldn't surprise me if it causes Skyrim to use up more memory as the mod data files are being accessed virtually rather than from a fixed location on disk.

 

What Reynard131 said was that you had answered your own questions. Meaning move the pagefile to the HDD and increase its size or at the very least let Windows manage its size automatically.

OK thanks both.

I increased the pagefile max so it's now 1024-2048MB. Left it on SSD for now as I want the responsiveness of the SSD.

I also installed the SafeLoad mod (SKSE plugin).

i'm not sure which one of the above was the major solution, but all seems to be working well.

Thanks again!
