A little more info on when you are crashing to desktop would be helpful. Is it when you encounter something specific? Is it when you go somewhere or talk to someone? Is it as soon as you get into the game?

 

Other than that, while I don't know all of the mods in your load order, here are some problematic ones:

Deadly Combat - probably the most dangerous mod in your LO, read more as to why here.

Killable Children - old and known to cause some people issues, may also not work properly with Immersive Citizens

Killable Essential Characters - ditto, although seems to work better than Killable Children

Convenient Horses - this is a hit or miss; some people have issues, some people don't whatsoever, up to you whether to use or not, if you're worried you can try using Immersive Horses instead

 

Lastly, if you're not using Sharlikran's patch for JaySuS Swords, then that is also a big issue, and you need to go download it now if you want to keep using that mod.

 

If you really want to keep killing all the characters that vanilla Skyrim doesn't want you to, then there are most definitely other mods on the Nexus for that type of thing, and I'm sure you can find them quite easily.

 

EDIT- Open Cities can also be a big performance sucker, so if you haven't already, I would look into ENBoost and other tools outlined in Skyrim performance guides.

Alright, thanks for the info.. I can say that the crashes happen mostly when there's a lot of action and effects on the screen simultaneously.

 

Might be deadly combat doing this because my older save keeps crashing frequently. It's the save that's been through all the modding so it might be a little beat up..

I just started a fresh save couple of days ago and I haven't encountered anything yet.

I would also suggest using tools such as Save Game Cleaner and Save Game Script Cleaner (after reading about them and making sure you know what they do) in order to clean your saves. Save bloat is a very common cause of crashes, and many have had success with these tools in making their playthroughs much smoother.

 

Also, if you're like me, and absolutely hate vanilla combat because it's easy as hell, I recommend checking out some of these mods to make combat more difficult/balanced:

Ultimate Combat

Combat Evolved

SkyTweak (generally a good mod, can do a lot more than alter combat)

Revenge of the Enemies

High Level Enemies

PermaZones

 

If you're experiencing issues on an older save and less on a newer save, although this could be a huge range of problems, save bloat is even more worthwhile to take care of before it gets bad. I recommend starting an entirely new game without Deadly Combat (Deadly Combat's issue is directly related to save bloat) and seeing how it goes. The mods I posted above should have no issues with Save Bloat if used correctly, and I honestly think they're better than Deadly Combat anyways. If your issue is, indeed, directly related to Deadly Combat, I can almost guarantee that down the road your game will begin having frequent CTDs again.
