Sudden crashing for no reason

[Razor444]

Then I Skyrim crashes for no reason, he did it first but very rarely now, very often, I also checked the mods I had to see if they were all low resolution (because I have a 2 GB RAM), and all have low resolutions.

I also tried the method to lower the sound but does not work as I fix this?

Bumping is against the rules. As you have been here long enough to know that, you get a strike. Bump removed

Wish I could help since my game has gone to crashing every 5 minutes making the game unplayable but no matter where I look none of the resolutions to the random quit to desktop worked.

Try SkyBoost or TES5 Acceleration Layer (requires SKSE for the latter).

 

More info is actually needed to troubleshoot effectively. Thnks, happy gaming.

I see 2 different kinds of crash to desktop.

 

#1, The window just closed. the Skyrim symbol is still showing in the task bar but you are looking at the desktop. I think this is caused by the game losing focus, some background program - such as a Antivirus updater took focus for a second or so and the game lost sync and just paused - as if you had pressed alt-tab. This can usually be recovered by clicking on the skyrim icon in the task bar. you will get a black screen. Now do ctrl-alt-del and the screen will open with the task manager menu. Select 'task manager' and the task manager will start, then flash back into the game - The task manager will now be running behind the game, but you can continue.

 

#2, A true CTD. Again you are looking at the desktop. But NO Skyrim icon in the task bar. The only thing you can do is restart the game from your last save.This can also be caused by a loss of focus, but for a linger time. It can be from running out of memory or from something in a mod also.

 

First find out which type you have.
