AirtightSpring3 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 So, over these last couple days I've encountered a terrible problem with creation kit... I have about 300 or so hours put into the CK and I'm using the same computer I always have so I am not sure what the issue is. The only difference is that I recently completely reinstalled Skyrim and the CK. Basically after I have been modding for about 20-30 minutes my entire computer reboots itself. It only happens when using CK. I can play Skyrim fine, I can do other work from home just fine for hours on end. But for some reason the creation kit causes my entire computer to reboot. If anyone has any ideas regarding how I could fix this, that would be amazing! Thanks! - AirtightSpring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirtightSpring3 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 I'm guessing it must be overheating since I've been using the CK without problems for three years, having upgraded my graphic card once a year ago. Is there any way to monitor when the computer might be close to overheating and shutting down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroekr Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Have you opened the cover and blown canned air inside recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirtightSpring3 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Have you opened the cover and blown canned air inside recently?Thanks! I just tried this as well as dusting off my computer box/shell and had a good hour long CK session. Fingers crossed it keeps working. Also: I installed a program to monitor how close my computer is to overheating, so hopefully I'll catch it before it gets to close again if the problem persists, or at least be able to figure out what in CK causes the excessive strain on my computer. Thanks for the help everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusComa Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 99.99% of the time a computer reboot out of the blue is due to overheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
