I get random CTD at times, but mostly I stay at 30+ FPS since I made a new clean install (and backed it up too!) and made clean installs of only the exact mods I wanted to avoid save file bloat.

I have the newest AMD 7970 drivers 13.4 and the current version of Skyrim and all dlc.

I am, just wondering, is anything in my list known to cause CTD often? I spent hours and hours last night going over every mod and and reinstalling them as per the instructions and in correct order.

Frame rate doesn't seem to be a issue, and I am running the 4gb Skyrim patch.

System specs.

AMD 1055T @ 3.9 (its stable)

7970 Core edition 3gb

8 Gigs of DDR3 @ 1333.

Windows 7 64 bit.

Any/all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

Edit.

Forgot to add, all mods ordered by BOSS and cleaned with TES-V edit and then I made a bashed patch.

What is the 4gb Skyrim Patch?

Edit : after rebuilding the bashed patch did you run the jar file for asis?

Did you start a new game and still have CTD's?

Have you checked that all mods are up to date?

Have you ever disabled/uninstalled a mod and continued with your current save game? Do these CTDs occur when you start a brand new game?

An old hack, which is no longer necessary since an early official patch also enabled the game to use more memory (official patch 1.4 or 1.5?)

This mod should be disabled and you should verify the integrity of the Skyrim exe in Steam to make sure you're using a clean version of the latest official update.

Yes. I am wondering if I have the spawn cout set to high at times though.

Yes, I just started fresh Monday morning with a fresh install of everything.

Its a clean install with a new save.

Also, with the 4gb patch installed I got better stability as opposed to without it. I ended up adding it last night and noticed a profound decrease in CTD's.

So Sunday night and Monday morning I reinstalled a fresh skyrim and made a backup of it. Then I reinstalled every mod one at a time until I had everything I wanted. Then I started a fresh save.

Another thing I did after installing the 4gb patch, that while decreasing my CTD did not completely remove them was to change project ENB from full graphics mode to preset B (SSAO and no DOF) and graphics settings from ultra to high, and I noted again a slight decrease in CTD situations.

But I am running the newest drivers for my 7970. I think its possable that I was running out of V-ram (though I find this unlikely) even using lite versions of Skyrim 2k.

Also, someone said something about crimson tide and how its buggy. Any idea?

I think that is possiable that I was either running out of

OCS was the cause of a very specific crash in Markarth, try removing it and see what happens. With that mod removed I have been playing for hours at a time with no crashes...although removing mods isn't advised with current games...

Bro I just wanted to say, you can't be happy with 30 fps...

You want an average of 60 fps. :shrug:

Personally, I want a minimum of 60 fps (but this is very difficult to achieve).

So I settle for 60 fps average, with minimums in the 40's...

But 35 fps average is going to get minimums in the 20's, heheh... not good.

Or less... if it goes real low (even momentarily) it's crashy, right?

Target a higher framerate and see if your issues and gameplay experience in general are not greatly improved.

I just did another fresh install, still got a random CTD but I am gonna blame the amount of extra spawns I added. Gonna have to change that.

Fraps shows that I never went under 30 averaged.

1.3.10

And scrap the unofficial 4GB patch. It's just a flag in the executable. It does nothing for you since the official version. It's likely placebo.

So, I did a complete wipe and as I keep a clean backup of skyrim and all mods I was able to quickly reinstall everything today.

I dropped the 4gb patch, RLO and CTB.

I went about 50 minutes without a CTD while recording ingame footage with fraps. Not too bad, but something somewhere is causing a bit of instability. I think it might be among these mods.

Open cities (I love it too much to quit it) along with ASIS (as a result of too many spawns) it could be my map mod because the only two CTD ive had was either a direct result of too many spawns, or opening the map.

It *might* be my ENB settings, maybe.

Thanks for the help so far!
