Madatom Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 at random times during gameplay, my actual computer (skyrim does not crash when this happens) will tab me out of the game and tell me i need to restart my system because a critical windows task has been terminated this obviously only happens when skyrim is running, there appears to be no trigger for this since it happens both indoors and outdoors, the game seems to just randomly terminate windows services, other games run without issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiegril Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 It seems very strange that a steam version would do this. What patch are you using? Have you tried verifying your game files through steam? Are you playing in online or offline mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 It could be from a background process running behind the game. If that process needs some windows process that is in use by the game - and it cannot get the game to release it, I could see it doing something like this. Check your background processes to see what is running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiegril Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 It sounds to me like you may be losing your PSU. Have you looked at your voltage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
