psztol Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah so I finally had some more time to test the game afeter 1.4 came out. Using the map was fixed in my case, but Shalidor's Maze still gives me black screen and sound loop after which only hard reset helps... Meaning same old, same old...

Nerevarine69r Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I have the patch as well. Unfortunately it did absolutely nothing. My hard reset seems to be area or quest specific, problem is it doesn't seem to matter which quest. I was in some dwarven ruins and when I moved deeper into the level it would crash in minutes. I loaded an earlier save and left and I was able to play for 1/2 hour. I was entering the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary and it crashed. That was the first time it crashed during a transition. I have disabled speedstep and disabled core parking as well to no avail. This problem is with the very code of Skyrim. I am going to delete and reinstall it and see if that will solve my problem this time, otherwise this game is getting shelved until it works. sorry, no, wrong the problem is your pc and its configuration. FIX IT i still get the hard reset black screen at certain areas and sometimes when i get poisoned. Black screening is usually caused by the USER running multiple low level access sensor apps together at once, putting the gpu into an unrecoverable state. use one, and disable gpu sensor access in the others. evga eleet also causes a black screen (as does any hardware mon based apps) when used in conjunction with precision/afterburner. having GPU-Z left running alongside precision and stuff is also a common cause of gpu crashes.

Nerevarine69r Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Then its highly possible that the GPU is not recieving sufficient voltage or is in the process of failing. Skyrim is one of the few D3D9 games that actually pushes a DX10 gpu to 100% usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyrim is one of the few D3D9 games that actually pushes a DX10 gpu to 100% usage. if the card is on the way out, then it's really quite disappointing since i've had it less than 12 months. as for the power draw - as i said in my previous post, the card i used prior to my current card had a much higher draw and there were no issues with power. i can play other games pushing my gpu to 100% and not have a single issue there, yet occasionally when playing skyrim i will get the black screen. the only other game that i have which produces the same sort of issue is trackmania 2 canyon when i use the track editor.

Like what? I BELIEVE I'm having a 100% cpu usage crash issue. I have a 620 watt power supply, so that shouldn't be a problem.I don't think it is temperature. It just seems to spike on CPU usage... I THINK.... I don't have any monitoring systems running. I have HW monitor, but I don't run it all the time. I used it to monitor temp a bit, made sure that wasn't the problem. I resinstalled the program and got to play the longest I have for a while - about 10 minutes. I had 3 things change from when it worked fine1) bought retail version (not pirated)2) bought new vid card (but it's better..)3) installed a new 620 watt power supply. So it must be one of those I in someway. I'm still toiling along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, no need to be a douche elitest. I disagree with my config causing the issue. I did take your advice on disabling low level monitoring apps... Unfortunately it did nothing. My card is healthy, as is my power supply. If it's my configuration, then why is Skyrim the only program causing it to dump? Why does it seem to be quest specific? Why can I go back to those very same places after continuing on in the game and breeze through without any issues? I am no idiot and generally find the error whether it is mine or the software. If I could narrow it down to something other than the software I would try, but it is what's causing the problem, not my PC. That's why I checked the forum for constructive and varied methods for solving the issue, it is tried and true in the IT world. Posts like yours directed at me do nothing to forward the cause. Next time, maybe it would be appropriate to say "Though this seems the case, maybe you should go back and double check your system specs as it could still be a configuration issue." This delivers the same message but doesn't have the tone of a complete @$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
