Fallout 4 crashes, wasted $130

[Molten Talon]

Can anyone help me? I have bought fallout 4 about 2 weeks ago, ever since, my game crashes on the menu screen. Someone told me to buy a new monitor because my was old. But I bought a new 1080p and still crashes... HELP!

[Molten Talon]

I am super sorry, but when you say AMD GPU, does that mean the back of the pc, because that is what i am doing

At the back of your computer there should be HDMI ports from the motherboard and the graphics card. Is the HDMI cable plugged into the graphics card?

I am sorry, but I am new to computer tech... when you say ‘plugged in to graphics card’, do you mean like just plugged into the back?

[Ratsak]

The port on the graphics card, not motherboard.

So what would you have me do, and pls use smaller words, I am still learning

[Molten Talon]

so when i play fallout, the 'press any button' screen pops up, and when i push any button, i have a split second of the main menu, then it crashes and goes back to my desktop

Here's a page with a pretty decent image and info that will help you understand what's going on in the back of your computer :)

Of note: you want to plug your monitor into something similar to the "10" labeled slot - the one which is found in the "expansion slots" rather than the one which is near all the rest of the generic ports (5). I'm not saying this is going to look exactly like yours, but it should be similar. That's what Alkose means.

My computer has none of those, instead, my DVI-D is plugged into the white port just to the left of #10

Which could be totally related to your modded game.

This is why troubleshooting issues like this is not really a wise method to go by with using a modded game. There could be a mod issue causing that, which normally, you post about in the game forum for support.

It could be you are confusing a hardware issue with this crashing in this exact post here.

Not talking about what you said with going to your friend's house and not seeing this present itself, but with this exact post that I just quoted.

[Molten Talon]

well, it is black, and yes, there is only that one and an HDMI port

[Molten Talon]

Giving one, so are you saying that this port has to do with something else and not that it has to relate to the modding of fallout 4?

... so the issue is the mod?

... so how come it had not worked before i went to my friends house?

... whenever iwas at my house, before or after my friends house, it never worked, the it did at my frinds house... so my friends house has some vital key thing that made my game work

[The Giving One]

No, I am saying that doing any type of troubleshooting with Fallout 4 being modded, even though you did not see this at your friend's house, might not be the best way to go.

There could be somehow a new mod conflict or mod issue between the last time you played at the friend's house and now.

EDIT...Well if you were at that friend's house right now and it was working that would provide ammunition that I am wrong.

so what do you recommend me doing then?

[Molten Talon]

ok, hold on, i am reinstalling fallout 4 to see if anything changes, because ltast time i have reinstalled it was couple weeks ago

[The Giving One]

I don't want to deflect from the suggestions that others are giving you right now as they are very helpful users but if this was me in your shoes, this is what I would do.

I will say that again so we are perfectly clear. This is what I would do, ok ?

What YOU do is up to you.

I would uninstall all mods using NMM or your mod manager and then verify the game files for Fallout 4 and try again. That "should" eliminate the possibility that it is a mod causing the crashes.

YOu can always reinstall you mods later.

EDIT..see you multiposted again without giving me time to type out my reply. Verifying the files should work after unintalling the mods. You don't have to reinstal the game. And you still need to uninstal the mods like I just said.
