itschocobo Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) My specs are:Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bitIntel i7-2630QM CPU8 GB RamDirectX 11NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 4 GB Whenever I play any game (League of Legends, Minecraft, Awesomenauts, etc) my laptop fan starts to speed up, it has two exhaust things on the back and I never crash, only with Skyrim. I have these mods installed with NMM, BOSS, and skse - The game just crashes to desktop a couple of minutes into the game when my laptop fans starts to speed up (I can hear them speed up). I put all my graphical settings on low and still crashes to desktop when my laptop fans start to speed up. I installed speed fan and my laptop temperature caps at like 68 C when the game crashes. My NVIDIA card is up to date (310.70). Could this possibly be a hardware problem? Or is something wrong with my mods (I also had about 2x more mods before and it never crashed until recently) Edited December 18, 2012 by itschocobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is something wrong with my mods (I also had about 2x more mods before and it never crashed until recently) the system temp isn't enough to ensure that something isn't overheating. the fact that the fans are speeding up seems to indicate that the system is detecting a heat increase somewhere. skyrim is especially hard on cpus & gpus. I might try downloading some benchmark tools and checking the performance & temperature on at least your cpu and gpu (use with caution). Take note that such benchmark software is designed to push your system’s stress point to maximum to gauge if components are functioning properly, or how effectively your system works when it's pushed hard. So using such programs are a risk, especially if your system is compromised in some fashion. so you might just need a simple gpu & cpu temp readout. (also note you can usually find such things for free if you look around on the net) ---Multi-edit typo, other things Edited December 18, 2012 by Invisible Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
