T00LK1D Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Ok, lets do the full assault then: - Update Graphics Driver- Update/Downgrade DirectX- Change the Sound Settings to 16-Bit, 96.000Hz (96Khz) (Go to your System Configuration and choose "Sound", now right-click the device you are using and click Properties, now choose the last tab (Extra or something like that) and now chang the 16-Bit, 96.000Hz (Studioquality)- Post your dxdiag.txt and your SkyrimPrefs.ini file as an attachement. (You get the dxdiag.txt by clicking start-->type "dxdiag" in the search bar-->the Dx Diagnose Tool pops up--->Save all Informations as)**- Now check your CPU/GPU Temperature while "playing" with tools like Speedfan (http://www.filehorse.com/download-speedfan/ -- It's Freeware) or HWMonitor (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html)- Now do the routine-check (Check Cables, Contacts, Faulty Ram and/or Faulty Drivers --> You can check faulty or outdated drivers with "Driver Genius")- Defrag the Drive on which Skyrim is installed- Shut off your Anti-Virus while playing, to see if it's not your AV killing the Skyrim Process everytime- Last things to do, would be to check the Windows Event Viewer (That shows you what exactly happens when Skyrim crashes, and what caused it, if something "System-Relevant" is involved)- Now start Skyrim in windowed-mode and open the Taskmanager and always keep an Eye on the TESV.exe Process. If it just dies without CPU spikes, its most likely some faulty files. (Works better with 2 Screens, since Skyrim is more Resource hungry in Fullscreen, so you can have Skyrim one Screen and the Taskmanager on the other.) **The DxDiag.txt contains all Informations about your Hardware and the OS you are using. It is useful and helpful for us, so you dont need to look for every single detail, since the DxDiag.txt contains everything we need. Thats all I can do/tell without the DxDiag.txt and the SkyrimPrefs.ini -- I hope it helps at least a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order of your suggestions-Already did this-Already did this-Mentioned doing this in my original post (although broadly)-Pref is at default settings unless it automatically changes over time, the dxdiag shouldn't be needed since the hardware/software I have had no issues running the game for the first 95 hours, I'll post them if necessary, though I highly doubt they are the source of the issue-This isn't an issue or relevant to the CTDs I'm having-Just did this, I'll have to manually find where to download what updates the program suggests are available-Already did this-Will try this, though I highly doubt it is causing the issue as it hadn't done that the first 95 hours (and I had the latest patch installed for a good 20-30 hours of that character).-I'll try that Maybe I'll actually be able to save w/o crashing after trying some of these at least.
