In order to properly help you, we need to first establish a baseline so please post your rig's complete specs. Just go to the top of this Steam window, click "Help", click "System Information", and then copy and paste EVERYTHING to this thread.

I have more than 100hr play time and for some odd reason, it decides to crash when it gose to the Bethesda logo. Before the crash happens, I download the new CC mods.

Need full specs drawn by Steam's tool in the help section.

Also, you have a very, very wierd PC.

Premium line CPU and Motherboard, Trash Graphics card, dual channel in a quad chanel ecosystem.

it also crashes on me when I press a button to continue.. when I verify the game files the problem is gone.. but it happens 2 or 3 times a week

I just had the same problem. The game just crashes to desktop whitout any error message as soon as i hit any button at the starting screen. This just happened and now i cant play anymore even if i try to verify the gamefiles. Anyone else got this prob?

[okimowa_sensei]

I have a similar problem. Only it crashes me after the "menu" appears (Continue game, new game ,,, etc).
I was making files consistent, but it didn't do anything.

make sure the games trying to run at a resolution your monitor supports to start with ,
delete the .ini files and let the game rebuild them , see what settings it wants (check the res and aspect ratio)
go to bethesda and see what you need to do regarding installing and running cc stuff

[zidane]

For me the problems started when i tried to tab into windows (I have done this before and it has worked fine) and when i tried to go back into the game i just had a black screen. Then i had to exit the game from the taskmanager, and after that the game just kicks me out after the "menu" appears like CreepyPasta described.

I dont have any mods and have never used anyone before. Up to this point I have tried: 1.Verifying the game files.
2. Deleting the .ini files.
3. Uninstalling and Re-Installing the game.

Until you guys post your FULL specs as Steam sees them, you're either not going to be helped at all or you're just gonna get a bunch of wild guesses. Most of the regulars here request that you post your specs because this is the best way to establish a baseline, as I stated in my previous post.

Most of us, myself included, won't waste our time trying to help someone who refuses to supply the information we need to effectively troubleshoot your issue. The choice is yours.

Zidane has his own thread with his specs posted. AND, you should read all the hijackers posts on that one. With none of their specs or mod info! :)

@dragon killer

some things you can try (in no particular order)

1. make sure you're not running the HD texture pack. If you are, get rid of it since your rig doesn't meet the requirements anyway

2. If you're running F4SE, make sure you're using the latest version. This is important since F4SE loads BEFORE you load a save game.

3. Update EVERY mod that uses F4SE

4. lower your graphics setting to the minimum and see if your game stabilizes

5. Delete all the ini files in....../Documents/my games/Fallout4/......Then launch the game with the default Steam launcher, set your graphics settings and see if you can get into the game.

6. If you're running Riva Tuner or Afterburner, try disabling them since that have been known to crash this game, especially older versions of them.

Try Borderless windowed at your native resolution.

Could always try deleting the Intro video, not the main menu loop one but its one or both of the others, cant remember off the top of my head and delete all those special videos too, they're just a waste of space
