Strange "dark" arms glitch

So I've been playing Skyrim since release, and nothing like this has ever happened, but some how, I can't remember at what point, I began to have a strange problem with my arms going dark or completely black when entering an interior. I took a picture and have shown it to other friends with Skyrim on PC, but they have no idea about this bug.

 

Here is an example:

One friend suggested I update my GPU, but I did that and nothing happened.

 

Another thing I tried was to uninstall all of my mods, as playing Bethesda games in the past like Oblivion and Fallout led me to conclude that most of the bugs that suddenly "appear" when playing were due to mods. Though the issue was not fixed, I did discover that when uninstalling "Mike Fox's Darker Dungeons" the arms were a lot lighter than when I had it installed. This mod simply reduces the lighting in each cell to 0, making unlighted areas pitch black. This must mean that the problem is not that textures or something are not showing, it's that light isn't working properly on them.

 

here is a picture with the mod uninstalled:

As you can see, it's still pretty dark, but at the same time it's not pitch black like it was with the mod.

 

Can anyone help me? I am not very good with computers, if you do suggest something please provide some form of instruction.

 

Thanks :)
