Random Freezes

[Jodah100]

Okay, I'm out of ideas. I've tried everything I can think of to fix my problem but nothing works. My issue is that Skyrim will randomly freeze from time to time. It won't CTD it just stops. I have to bring up the task manager to kill the program (and it says "not responding.) I've tried disabling all mods (including removing any loose files that remain.) I've tried reinstalling. I've tried lowering the graphics settings. I've updated all my drivers. Tried old saves and brand new characters. Nothing seems to work.

 

The freezes occur most often during a save (autosave or quicksave) but have occurred at random times while exploring. I've had interior and exterior freezes. Sometimes it happens every 5 minutes, other times I can go an hour or two with no freeze. I just can't think of anything else to try. Help me!

Jodah100,

 

I have the same issue, have had for about 2 months now. I see quite a few other people that have the same problem. Unfortunately there seems to be no explanation or understanding of why it happens. I've uninstalled/re-installed a few times, and tried very hard to find out what is causing it. Just when I think I've foound the problem, I freeze again.

 

I can play freeze free on a clean install with no mods. But I've done that already, and since I learned about mods several months ago, having hard time wanting to play just straight vanilla anymore. So I'm deciding if I want to do that, or just give up.

 

I know this didn't help you at all, just letting you know your not the only one. If I ever find out what the cause is, I will let you know.

 

It's been suggested that several mods were the cause (enhanced blood textures, deadly spell impacts, SkyTest, etc.) but I've tried clean installs without each of those mods, and still freeze. Those arent the only ones Ive tried, just a small example.

 

Anyway, good luck, please let me know if you find anything out.
