I am having the same problem. The game loads, looks great and within two minutes crashes, and takes my computer with it. Black screen and restart. It really sucks that this is a recent developement, I am 160 hours into the game and now I can't play.

have you ever had mods before? after you do a clean install, if you did not delete the actual skyrim directory folder, you will have some mods lingering in that folder, then when you do a clean install the mods get added to that "clean" install.

if the high res pak is a mod then yes, but I have since set the files to not load. do I need to delete local files again, delete the folder and then reinstall?
