Georgiegril Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 It sounds like it could be your video cards crashing. You could try turning down your settings, and see if it still crashes, or Have you run something like CPU-Z to see what is going on with your hardware when you are playing? High temps will crash the game, its the card's way of protecting itself. But it could also be that you have driver problems caused by an incorrect update of your drivers, or that the Skyrim graphics settings are too high, or that another process on your computer is taking priority so your game isn't being given enough RAM, or that your power source is starting to die, and is not providing even supply.... Something like CPU-Z can help you see what is actually going on, if you don't have it it's free, although there are other programs out there, some specific to your video card and/or motherboard. After that, if you list your computer specs and graphics settings, someone can probably give you more targeted suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
