Skyrim CTD every 5mins (10 if it's feeling generous). I tried ever

So my game is much more stable now, I played for a good hour until I got into combat and it froze with the audio looping. If it makes any difference, I recently downloaded two mods, No spinning death and Realistic ragdolls and force.

It seens you are either reaching you video memory limit or your system RAM limit. Take a look at the link I posted earlier the skyrim project stability, specially about cleanmem and processor unparking and HPET. Cleanmem helps free system RAM and reduce the stuttering/freeze if thats the case. You should try it at least, the tutorial tells you how to undo it if you want. I'm recommending it cause I had the same issues and I'm using 250 mods now and it's stable again.

You might want to check if you have any papyrus tweaks into your skyrim.ini. Those might cause the game to do strange things also.

Here is the default values and explanation: http://www.creationkit.com/INI_Settings_%28Papyrus%29

 

I use this:

 

[Papyrus]

fUpdateBudgetMS=1.8

fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=1.8

fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=500.0 ;Xenon and PS3 use 2000.0

iMinMemoryPageSize=128

iMaxMemoryPageSize=1024

iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=1048576

bEnableLogging=0

bEnableTrace=0

bLoadDebugInformation=0

bEnableProfiling=0

 

 

You can change fUpdateBudgetMS and fExtraTaskletBudgetMS as high as 20, and if it gets stable, go lowering it by 2 and test. This is something like a pause time to process papyrus scripting, so it helps on script heavy mods. However I found that 1.8 already did some difference.

Thanks agunsthemagi, I have tried the project stability, at least the RAM cleaning part. The other stuff like unparking CPU kinda scares me coz I'm not too experienced with these kinda stuff and I wont want to jeopardise my PC by doing these. I doubt my video memory or my RAM is reaching its limit coz i have a good amount of it. I tried the papyrus tweak you suggested and it completely got rid of my stutters but again during combat my game freezes up. I have a feeling it might be one of my mods that are related to combat.

Out of your load order I suspect Deadly Spell Impacts and Enhanced Blood. It might be related, maybe some script conflict making the game enginie lock up.

I've read reports of both causing issues to some people, I disabled both also. I use Realistic Spell Impacts, it's a simple retexture without scripts. You might leave the blood textures of enhanced blood and disable the esp, however the scripts will remain in the save.

 

You might try to use SKSE console comand ClearInvalidRegistrations it attempts to kill script left overs, it can also be placed in the SKSE.ini which you have to create yourself.

I uninstalled both deadly spell impact and enhanced blood but now my game crashes during loading. How do I use SKSE console command?
