Hard freezes with ENB

[jdavis85]

I'm having an issue with ENBs where the entire computer freezes and even ctrl+alt+delete doesn't work and I have to restart the computer manually. I've tried isolating the problem as much as possible and it seems it's definitely the ENB - in one recent fresh save I started, I toggled the ENB off and the game ran fine. The next attempt, I toggled the ENB on a very low graphics preset (Superb ENB's very low setting) with SSAO off and it froze about 2-3 minutes in. The only other mods I'm running with the ENB are those associated with the Texture Pack Combiner.

 

I've tried to follow the installation instructions as closely as possible, including setting floatpointrendertarget to 1 in SkyrimPrefs, and I've turned off antialiasing and anisotropic filtering in both my control panel and the game launcher.

 

As far as my comp:

OS: Windows 7, 64 bit

Processor: AMD FX 8120 Eight-Core Processor, 3.11 GHz

RAM: 8 GB

GPU: MSi NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti Power Edition

PSU: 900W Rocketfish

 

To be more specific on what happens, after starting a fresh save, right around where Ralof mentions the horse thief, the entire computer freezes and nothing responds. The audio halts abruptly and nothing works, not even ctrl+alt+delete. The only way to get out is by doing a hard reset. I've tried running it without an ENB and it works up until the race menu, after which I decided it was fine and quit out. I've also tried using the injector version of the ENB and that didn't change anything.

 

Any thoughts on what this could be or what I'm doing wrong would be much appreciated!

 

(By the way, I tried posting this on the ENBseriesdev bug forum but it said the post was too spammy for a new user.)

Check your default sample rate for sound in Windows.

 

Start -> Control Panel -> Sound

Select the output speakers being used and click Properties

Under the advanced tab, change the sample rate to 24 bit / 44100 Hz
