elopjd Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Also, people that are having the CTD, the problem this topic is about is NOT the CTDs, there's another topic for that (and on top of that 4gb patch fixes it), so, sorry if I sound rude, but people please read what the topic is about and stop confusing others.

thelarsen Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 damn it could some people just start reading this thread before making clever suggestions? It´s absolutely NOT about crashing to Desktop..its about shutting down the computer..happy this works for you but it has nothing to do with our problem..

Pumper Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) I have the same exact problem. My specs.:Win7 Ultimate 64bitAsus Crosshair Formula IVPhenom 1055t X6 @3.5Gigabyte HD6850Kingston HyperX 8GBCorsair 650W Everything was fine for more than a week until today when I installed these mods:Detailed Faces V2 (upgraded from 1.0)Skyrim SunglareDetailed BodiesLarge Address Aware (I suspect this was the cause, but after reverting the settings and replacing exe with original the problem did not go away)Glowing Ore Veins 300 At first I was running it on Catalyst 11.09 so I updated the drivers to 11.11 but after ~10min in Skyrim my GPU stopped working again (had to use force shut down as the Reset button does not do anything when this happens).Now I deleted all the mods I installed today and will try to see if the problem is still present. CPU temps never don't go over 40C (mostly 30-35C when playing Skyrim) and GPU stays <70C when gaming. Edited November 19, 2011 by Pumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumper Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 So I did the following 4 things and was able to play the game for over an hour without GPU shut down (only had a couple of 'not responding' issues when loading but the game woke up in both cases after a few seconds): - changed system sound settings from 16bit/48hz to 16bit/41hz- disabled GPU OC (was overclocked to 850/1150 in AMD Overdrive from the default 775/1000)- deleted all of the mods I installed today (look at prev post)- ran the game in windowed mode. Next time I will try to overclock my GPU again and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eneishi Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 After 6 hours of playing the game, it finally crashed, the 70% CPU failed me. Of course it did. There is no "fix" guys. Wait for the patch or ask for your money back.Fortunately, I tried to lower my CPU further to 60% plus lowered my graphics with the draw distance set to high and it worked, been playing for some time now. How are you lowering your CPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarderothReturns Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 im 89% :thumbsup: sure I found my issue with constant ctd'ing with no warning after the solution (or solutions) ive played uninterrupted for hours This is about Skyrim causing a hard system restart, not a Crash To Desktop. You are in the wrong thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qcio Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Played 10 hours, mostly of it discovering new locations and didn't get black screen crash yet. Also I might add that I had this very same problem with World of Warcraft and Dragon Nest mmorpgs. Anyway, I read some guys post on SC2 forums that updating chipset drivers helped him solve this problem. Never really bothered to update them as I read it was kind of dangerous (?) and s***. Well, I took a risk and so far I didn't crash once. Have a read if and before you decide to do it: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/3082251808 [22nd November] Crashed after 4 days of playing. f***.

kerid Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Just a guess: could it be related to the Frostbite engine ? When a program stops working, we are usually taken back to the desktop since we have left the win98 era. This is why I think of some kind of library which would contain a bug with sufficient power to make the hardware reset (guess: 3D acceleration). I also noticed users complaining about the same crashes with Battlefield 3 or NFS the run (games also using this 3D engine AFAIK).Again, it's just a guess, and maybe nothing more than a stupid idea.

seanie Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I Just played for over eight hours without crash and haven't had a crash since setting the maxium processor state to 70%with every game option set to max, really good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
