Random CTDs

[DrawVid]

So my game keeps crashing (seemingly randomly) every so often - I can't play for more than an hour (varies - Sometimes 30 mins sometimes 1 hour).

The only consistent factor that I can see with these crashes is that it always seems to be just before the loading screen comes up when leaving a building and 'entering' the Commonwealth...

A few things to note before anyone posts solutions: it's NOT PC temps - they are all below 58 at all times, my clean Windows 10 install is only a few weeks old and all my drivers (including GPU, mobo and BIOS) are all up to date.

PC Specs:

Intel Core i7 6700K (Liquid Cooled),

Gigabyte G1 GamingGTX 980Ti,

32GB DDR4 RAM (3000MHz),

120GB Hyper X SSD (Boot Drive),

1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD (Game Drive),

Acer Predator X34 Monitor (100Hz 1440p Ultrawide G-Sync)

Any help would be great.

same issue .. do not think it is mods versus memory issues or area overloads

I take it you don't know any potential fixes then? :p I've looked everywhere myself!

I have a Titan X GPU in my rig and when I recently bought a Logitech Orion Spark keyboard it comes with the ARX App which allows you to monitor your PC hardware on your phone.

It shows that sometimes I am using 99% of the GPU ! I am no expert on such stuff but I think that may be related somehow. It's not a "random" thing but I had 4 tries at building a new robot at Starlight Drive In and I could only get as far as the torso armour before the CTD'd.

Hm. I don't think GPU at 100% load (or close by) is an issue - it's quite common in intensive game (unless temperatures get too high of course - which may cause crashes)

Think I fixed it - I did a complete reinstall of the game and all of the mods. I spent a long time going through EVERY last mod page reading everything to be sure it was all done correct.

Been playing for about 3 hours and have had no crashes!
