Played a game that crashed as much as this does, literally every couple of minutes - it's incredible, it's so often I'm beginning to wonder if I haven't got some kind of "Crash Power" running...
Not HD textures, no scripts, nothing - crash crash crash when outside.

Amazing.

What platform? Though you should probably post this in the Technical forum.

Playing on PC, and since the patches we rarely experience any CTD even with the high res pack and mods running.

I call it "The Daily Crash"

On PC - quad core 2.5Gh + 4Gb RAM + GEForce 550 ti o/clocked to 990/2250.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was daily, it's not it's literally every 5 minutes or so.
It's just unplayable, completely.
I've never "not" played a game like it.

Turn your gfx settings down. Especially shadows. See if that makes a difference.

@PhonAntiPhon

Post your Dx-Diag and people will be able to help you, including me

Also set your GPU clocks to stock and then run the game.

Fair enough - cheers.
Which bit of the dx-Diag do you want?

@PhonAntiPhon

Everything inside the TXT file the button in the screenshot outputs, include the contents of the TXT inside a spoiler tag in your next post.

Oh... I thought we were going to play the drinking game...

Have you been able to play the game in normal conditions once? The first thing I would do if this happened to me is completely un-install the game and re-install it.

Unusual, my game has stopped crashing after reinstalling it. Maybe has something to do with changing my software (that's why I had to reinstall it, actually)?
I can't think of any reason, since my processor is really low end.

Did you visit that thread: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1270631-crashes-during-gameplay/??

I'll send in the dx-diag when I get home.
I could reinstall it but I would rather do that as a last resort if I'm honest.
What I will do is downclock the card and look at resetting some of the graphics settings...

Thanks for the link, I'll check that out.

[EDIT] - it's only in the Skyrim worldspace. Internals are fine.

We still can

^ This I have a pretty high end rig and I reinstall after each patch always seems like something gets messed up after one.

@OP Def take the easier steps first...we are just talking about a CTD no error right? not a hang or a system reboot?
If you do decide to uninstall make sure you back up your saves and delete everything from the steam/steamapps/common/skyrim folder including the skyrim folder itself as well as the mygames/skyrim folder. Then I use CCleaner to remove anything that was left behind after that in regards to Skyrim in the Registry tab. Reinstall and this may just be me being paranoid but I make sure that while the game is installing that nothing else is using my bandwidth besides the average web surfing. IE no downloading anything else while its doing on.

Well it's "just" a CTD - it's completely random, but always - (so far) - outside.
I only actually installed the game a couple of days ago so it has had no patching since then.
I have upgraded my GPU drivers.
In terms of game install I am running it from an SSD card, via junction, but I can't see that that would make much difference?
I've checked through the suggested thread and I'm pretty in the curve with a lot of other folk who have replied to it.

As I say - I'm going to use a lower clock speed for the GPU and also adjust shadows. I'm thinking of using some blank music files as well because I do recall from Oblivion that disabling music improved stability. Since you can't do that in Skyrim I'm thinking that maybe blank files will help.

im always sad over mods, and im truely sorry to relish in your pain, but this makes me glad im on xbox for now. lol i had the same [censored] with oblivion

But that's just point, it's almost completely vanilla.

Took me a few weeks to figure out a good config for this game. It is a game inside a game and if you count lockpicking as a minigame a game withing a game within a game :/

I have had only 5 CTD's out of 219 total hours played. It only crashed when I pushed the graphics too far and most recently adding more dynamic shadows to the game. The other crashes were related to mods.

In the case where people are getting lots of crashes my guess is that it relates to the hardware setup you have. Try using other spare parts if you have it at hand, cpu, gpu, motherboard or hard drive. My game runs ok since patch 1.3

I have virtually no mods running.
Scaled right back on ini settings, GPU scaled back, couple of other things done.
...we shall see...

@ OP

Make sure sound is set to 24bit 41000hz this has been found to cure CTD's.

Overclocking your card that much is a bit overkill. I have a GTX 580 and it starts to artefact at 930mhz.

Thing is it was perfectly fine, no artifacts, however, I have it set at 950 now...
I'll try that with the sound - is that set in the PC control panel?

I know that cancelling music in Oblivion did really help...

Right-click your volume control in the bottom right of your screen > Playback Devices > Choose your speakers or whatever you use for sound > Properties > Advanced.

Also have you tried setting verifiying game files and you are not using any mods at all or textures? Do you have latest drivers for nvidia?

Yeah I found it - sorry I was being thick!
Set to 24bit 44100
I have a couple of texture replacers - (not HD) - and a couple of esps for blood.
I have the latest nvidia drivers and I have checked and have no other out of date drivers.

[EDIT] - I've also replaced all the music with blank files.
