[SOLVED] Skyrim crash to dekstop, no error message.. any help?
Hey..
My game keeps crashing all the time.
I can play for like 5-15 Minutes before the game stops working.. i just jump on my desktop with no error message.
Anyone else have these problems? or knows how to fix it?

I found something online but nothing worked for me:
1. Verify Integrity of Local Files for the game.
2. Turn off V-Sync
3. Turn Shadows Low
4. Do the audio tweak (44000hz and 16 bit in audion playback)
5. Turn off all unused applications.
6. ATI users: try turn off Crossfire, seems that somehow helps some.

System:
Win 8.1 64bit
i5-3570k
8GB Ram @ 1600 MHz
Asrock Z77 Pro3
GTX660ti


Here is a little guide from llja, which helped me much.
Al least the first steps with cleaning the cache etc. worked.

We have few things to try. The recommended order:
1. Verify Integrity of Game Cache (again) with clear appcache.
2. SKSE Memory fix.
3. ENBoost CTD and memory fix.

1. Verify Integrity of Game cache (clean)
- Exit Steam
- Go to Steam Folder and remove folder named "appcache"
- Reboot your computer.
- Start Steam. It will now inspect your games for new appcache folder.
- Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

2. SKSE Memory fix.
- Download SKSE 1.7.0 alhpa (Important!) and follow my instructions from below. Note, that you will have to start your game trough SKSE launcher for now on.

SKSE

SKSE, memory and skse.ini

3. ENBoost
- Download binaries from enbdev.
- Select News > Download > TES Skyrim (under Graphic modifications) > Hightest number from the list (currently v0.254) > Download button is at the bottom of this page.
- Install files.

enbdev.com

- Download configuration files from Nexus. Select proper configurations from your card as instruced (be sure to use Wrapper folder) and copy them over previous files. Say "Yes" when asked about replacing/overwriting them.

If none of these fixes this for you, then this is about some special trouble.

Ok, that's strange then, Skyrim does have a ctd problem but what you're describing sounds a lot worse than usual. Someone else might have a better idea but all I can suggest is try re-installing Skyrim
.KsE Jul 8, 2014 @ 4:26am 
Yes, i found a lot about it online, but i guess it's "a lot worse" like you just said..
I guess so.. maybe re-installing works
Thanks for your quick answer and help! :)

Anti-virus enabled? Disable. This is passing strange, it should not be a memory problem. I'd be looking at my graphics driver and config. First, you might try deleting your two .ini files and appcache then relaunch.

Try disabling the high resolution pack. It really adds nothing to the game and in my experience was the reason for a lot of CTD's I got when I had it.

Thank you all for the fast respond!
@MageThis
AntiVirus is disabled.
Thanks, i will try that first

@Grathagis
I see but i hope, that's not the problem.. i played skyrim on X360 and it's just the worst..

@Ilja
Thanks, I try everything out, and will come back here.

Hey Guys, thank you all for your help and a special thanks to Ilja, the first step worked!
I played about 2 hours straight and still no crash! :)

So, could you please memorialize IIja (Ref)'s tips by ammending your original post to include [Solved] so others may find your solution to the issue quickly?
