Here is a link to my troubleshooting blog. Lots more on stuff you can do to reduce Crashes (I don't think anything will eliminate them altogether)

This is updated often so come back later for more.

 

If you use any of this and have some success - or even if nothing works - please post back here what you did that worked or didn't work. That kind of information can be invaluable to other members having the same or similar problems - And to me in fixing any problems in the blog.

Had a look through your guide, and found out that I was looking in the wrong Logs folder :facepalm: I found 1072 references to DSpSoB, a mod I use.

LOL Cannot equip a None item? I love that warning. The vanilla game gives that all the time with Greybeards and their Shouts. Somehow, I doubt it's what's causing the crashes, though.

I haven't seen any evidence that a script error directly causes a crash; however, I have noticed that mods which produce a lot of script errors are also likely to be causing other problems which may result in crashes, lockups, or severe drops in frame rate. If your game is having issues, and you check the papyrus log and see that some mod is spewing errors and warnings, that's your first suspect.
