Freezing problems

[SaxmanBW91]

Hi everybody,

Just got back into Skyrim after a long hiatus and I'm having a nightmarish time trying to diagnose this issue.

I've got a load order with around 115 mods (attached for reference), and I'm getting constant and hard freezes when I load my game.. No CTD's, just either hard freezes after a few seconds or minutes (so, yes, the game loads albeit only sometimes) OR when loading into a new area I just get a black screen freeze with the sound of the cell I loaded into still playing.

When the game freezes I have to sign out of Windows 10 and sign back in to regain control of my system.

Being that these are freezes, and not CTD's, I was postulating that this may be a display driver issue. SO, I went through the process of uninstalling my current and latest NVIDIA driver (385.41) for My GTX 1070 through Display Driver Uninstaller, and rolled back to a previous driver (382.53). Again, to no avail.

Has anybody else experienced these game-breaking HARD system locking freezes w/ modded Skyrim SE? I apolozige for the lengthy thread, but when the game works it plays great. But the freezes are just infuriating..

Thanks.

System Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 (3.2 GHz)
OS: Windows 10 (64 bit)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
RAM: 8 GB DDR3

I did have a freezing problem at one time this year. The game (fallout and skyrim se) would just freeze and in about 30 seconds I would get a blue screen with the message "Clock Watchdog Error". Turns out I had a bad fan and my BIOS was set to alarm at a rpm that the fan could not make anymore. Still haven't changed the fan but I have lowered the alarm and no longer blue screen or freeze.

I'm experiencing almost the same thing except it looks like when the freezing begin the game crash to main menu while the music is still on.
