Dragonflarcos Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Hur durr, it's me again ._. Yesterday I installed my new graphics card( HD 7970) and everything went fine, drivers are up to date the card got recognized by the Skyrim Load etc.Now I started skyrim with the SKSE_Loader/SBW and it just CTD'd after loading. I already hear the SFX of the game being loaded and ready to play and then PENG suddenly CTDI've deleted my .ini files so the loader can make a new pair but the problem still occurs.+ I haven't even made any mod changes so it can't be mods or save file ... My theory is that it has something to do with my ram, for ominous reasons my graphics card steals 4GB of my normal ram, this usually only happens on 32 bit windows but I run 64 so I can't explain that phenomen. And why 4gb? The card only has 3gb of VRAM , I just don't get it. Since the problem seems fairly simple I hope you can help me :/ cheers! PS: ugrids to load=5 in the save and in the ini BOSS'ed several times, no esm is missing nor in the false order Edited February 13, 2013 by Dragonflarcos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezubi Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Try starting a new game and then loading your earlier save, seems to work for me when I make any Hardware changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VRAM is totally on card,and should never mess with your normal RAM,unless it's on a laptop,or onboard video.Maybe you allocated an onboard card in BIOS with RAM,and need to change that.Also,make sure your RAM on the motherboard it set right,and didn't get knocked loose,or going bad.

korun Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) in skyrimPref.ini just check that your sD3DDevice = "your card"@@edit: Belial is right, it will take long before your card use your ram, 7970 get 3 gb so.. but check your ram in the case and memtest Edited February 13, 2013 by korun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonflarcos Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 FK YES FK YES FKYES SOLVED IT!I googled the problem with other words and stumbled upon this glorious thread:http://www.overclock.net/t/1239666/skyrim-wont-start-on-newly-installed-7970/10The solution was to delete the CAP(Catalyst application profiles) and voilà everythign works. Apparently this happens very often after installing a new Graca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
