Skyrim crash to desktop

[madmax911]

Im having an issue with Skyrim crashing randomly to desktop. I have the latest updates, Dawnguard and high res packs installed as well. Tried the lowering shadows trick without any luck.

My system is as follows

Intel I7 3770k

Geforce GTX680 latest drivers

Windows 7 64 bit

What should i try to fix this problem?

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.

I havent looked through you blog yet bben46 but i have so far removed dragonbone weapons mod, SMIM mod, Dawnguard and hearthfire and kept the highres pack. So far no crashes so i assume one of these things are causing the crash.

Dawnguard added dragonbone weapons, so installing the dragonbone weapon mod is not only uneeded but should cause conflicts.

I use SMIM and that is surely not an issue, I have 100+ mods covering a range and it doesn't conflict.

Dawnguard/Hearthfire shouldn't be an issue either.

 

So i'm assuming the issue is what I mentioned above

Well having ONLY high res pack still causes CTD so the problem is still there sadly.

How often are they? I know I get CTD's quite a bit with a modded Skyrim, but even without mods it still CTDs. Any specific spots?

 

I recently learned from the STEP project (It's a "mod suggestion pack") of a tweak to help stabilize skyrim a bit:

 

In your skyrim.ini, add this line under [General]

iLargeIntRefCount=999999

(Quote) "this prevents crashes when loading into a large interior area

 

There are a ton of other tweaks to the ini's and Nvidia control panel included in the Step project, if your interested here's the link. (Note: it's not a mod, but a pdf in the downloads section, give it a read through)

I have a problem where It crashes to desktop when i either fast travel or when i try to make a new character, when I switch it to female is crashes. I have mods, and i have 1 patch but i was fine before and had no crashes. I deleted and unchecked some new mods I got that might have been the problem and still nothing. I only have like 10-15 mods. Idk what it is. I have windows 7.
