Skyrim Freezing heaps?

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 5:06 am

Hey

I was just going to ask, My Skyrim keeps freezing randomly and I have to close the program. I use task manager and end the process, and even though it closes, it still stays open. Then, I try relaunching Skyrim, and the launch menu freezes. I eventually have to switch off my computer (by force) and reboot the computer for it to just eventually freeze again. Can somebody please give me a suggestion?

Thanks :)

Do you have an anti-virus program running in the background?

Is the freeze-up accompanied by a loud buzzing sound?

Are you pushing your game settings past what is recommended for your computer?

Have you scaned for malware recently?

Have you performed a Check Disk and Defragmetation of the hard drive that the game is on?

Have you checked to see if you have all your updated drivers for your computer's hardware?


.... the questions can go on and on.

BTW: you may want to check the PC Issues forum found here: http://www.gamesas.com/forum/180-pc/
Perhaps the answer may be in there. Good luck!
