Ctd - what to do

[Bernt]

Pending a recent reinstall I've been running around in the countryside getting at level 18. And I've had no problems until I wanted to go to Goodneighbor. Diamond City, Cambridge etc work fine. But now I can go for a few yards before CTD. It started at around Trinity Plaza and no matter which direction I go I cannot make any progress.

 

I am for the most getting 60fps right up till crash. Just a few down spikes.

 

Max VRam usage is at 3.2 of 4 Gb.

 

But my GPU hits 100% very fast and stays there until crash.

Same goes for GPU temp. It shoots from 40 to 60+ C within a minute of playing.

 

Ram maxes out 6.3Gb - of 16.

CPU maxes at around 40%.

CPU is maxing out at 55C on core1

 

I've got a lot of mods running - probably too many- Active mods at 303 and active plugins are 191.

 

My rig is:

 

Intel 5820K, 16Gb ddr4 on an MSI Gaming MB.

R9 200 video card with 4Gb Vram.

500Gb M2 main drive with a fully updated Win 10

 

What would be my best approach here? Cutting down on the eye candy mods. Or going from Ultra to High settings?

I'm running about 300 mods actively in my game and my pc is a piece of crap! So I don't think the number is your problem.
