Wraithofdoom Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 so if thats whats going on i guess putting the graphics down might work. I'll try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithofdoom Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) ok i tried with a lower resolution and graphics, the game still crashes. I think it may have something to do with vsync, how do i activate or deactivate it ? EDIT: its happening with oblivion too, and i can run that game maxed out at 60 + fps...

Staind716 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 well i have the latest driver installed for my graphics card, also the game doesnt seem to be continuing, the sound "crushes" too. As i said, i am unable to alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del, the computer totally dies on me. @Ginny: it could be a hardware issue, but what puzzles me is that i can play games like the Witcher 2 which demand more from the pc without problems...If by the latest driver you mean the beta then you might want to roll back to the previous one. A lot of people are having issues with the latest beta. Also make sure you completely uninstall your current driver before updating. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithofdoom Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) I think you confused graphics card driver with a patch for the game. Edited November 7, 2012 by Wraithofdoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exxxed Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) @Ginny: it could be a hardware issue, but what puzzles me is that i can play games like the Witcher 2 which demand more from the pc without problems... The Witcher 2 demands more raw graphics power rather than CPU as Skyrim, especially Skyrim modded, I know, I have both games :D. It could be that your CPU is failing, try a stress test and see what's up, I used to use IntelBurnTest for this, not sure what can do for you, maybe a google search might turn up better results depending on the manufacturer. I suggest using CPU-Z and see the temperature your CPU runs at while playing (play for about 10 minutes while leaving CPU-Z open and check the min./max. outputs at the bottom, maximum safe temperature for prolonged use is about 75 degrees Celsius under 100 percent load). S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat is another CPU and RAM hungry beast, maybe if you have it you could try and see if it happens with it too. Good Luck! P.S. Is by any chance your CPU overclocked? Mine was when I bought my new videocard and I had to restore the default clock speed when my PC (well usually it gave me a driver crash before it crashed the whole setup) auto-restarted after a few minutes of playing Skyrim, the problem was my Power Supply Unit, it didn't give enough power for both my new videocard and my overclocked CPU, so until I bought a new PSU I had to play with default clocks so it wouldn't crash. Could be that some background application is interfering with the game too, Skyrim is very picky when it comes to that too, maybe do a clean up of your registry using some software like CCleaner or TuneUp Utilites. EDIT: There are Beta drivers for your videocard that release every so often (for nvidia at least) and one of those fried my card a while back, never gonna do that again that's for sure, if you have an Nvidia card download the latest WHQL driver and pick the Custom installation option, at the next screen tick the ''Perform a clean install'' option at the bottom, also I would suggest not installing the 3D Vision drivers because they're known to have stability issues, especially if you don't have a 3D Vision setup. Also, Oblivion modded is a CPU hog too, mate you should really check that CPU of yours out, maybe take the PC to a repair service or call a friend who knows his way around a PC.
