dreigner Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Exiting to windows is a crash in my opinion, it might not be a sever as some of you people are having but the simptoms are the same. And yes when it crashes-exits out i do get a black screen.Then its back to desktop. except if you had read the title and even some of the thread, you would have noticed that we're not talking about CTD. we're talking about full system crashes - as in the whole machine hangs.

BarderothReturns Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Zolexus, please add (NOT CTD) somewhere in the OP? People don't seem to get it and are only confusing the situation further by adding solutions that may fix a CTD but are completly irrelevant. I also recommend linking the CTD Thread so they know where to post solutions and problems. While we appreciate any attempt at helping, we have a very different issue. A CTD is just the game crashing, Our problem is causing a hardware-damageing hard system reset, which can cause extensive damage to the computer itself.

Seriously... it's like the 10th time he's said something useless in this thread and people already told him every time. **Earth to idiot, this isn't a CTD thread.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterGrouik Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 My problem : Skyrim can run fine for hours and hours, for days and days. But it happened sometimes that, when exploring a cave or dungeon, the game crash and my screen displays "no signal". Forced to reboot the computer... If I load my last save, the game and the computer crash again in less than 1 minute, even if I get out of the buggy area. So I think it's linked to certain aeras that corrupt the save and make everything crash. Because if I load another save, the game just runs fine...Until I come again in the buggy area... What I noticed in the Windows 7 Event Log after a crash : The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device Root\SIDESHOW\0001. That message might be a lead, everyone in here should check in his Event Log to see if you get the same message. Keep us inform please, that could help Bethesda team to solve the problem !

Gardev Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 After playing some witcher 2 within 15 minutes of playing it did the same exact thing as it did in skyrim, gta iv, fallout 3, fallout new vegas.So, after having this experience with so many games and people already saying the power supply is shitty, I think it's time to get a new Seasonic or Coolermaster or some sort of nice psu company's psu I guess. Any recommendation on a PSU for an overclocked Radeon HD 6870 and AMD II X4 Phenom 965 OC'd at 3.8 GHz?And idk if this matters but I also have 12 gigs of ram.Sorry if it's a dumb question but I think the problem may lie in our PSUs "tripping" over the power or gpu and cpus give off after doing some research on complete shut downs in the middle of gaming, and if anyone can recommend something good it will be appreciated, I will do some hunting of my own of course but help from someone more experienced would be nice.

On the matter at hand, Ubuntu 11.10 handles Skyrim pretty well on Wine. If anyone uses Ubuntu, assuming you have decent hardware, can you try that and see if that works for you? Also, how many of us are WinXP users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
