Hello,
I am having big problems with skyrim.
when i am playing skyrim and need to fast travel or load anything or shout the wrong shout or anything.
It allways shuts down directly to desktop... i'm getting sick and tired from having over 1000 saves because it allways shuts down...
i payed enough for this awsome game but im really becomming angry about this cus it happend over 1000 times now.

I tried everything that i found on the internet :
1. Update video card drivers
2. Update DirectX
3. Change sound to 24 bit 44.1
4. Update Steam and Skyrim

And none worked for me... i even tried to put everything from ultra to low settings and still it crashes soooo much.

Please help me to play this game as it is supposed to be played.

P.S. ( Please don't close my topic too soon because i can never comment on other peoples comments, because the topic has been closed)

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you hit the "Magic Zone" where you'll be getting constant CTDs without running an altered .exe

/edit for link.

Are you sure your PC isn't overheating?
Also loads of saves doesn't help your cause because it takes up lots of memory, take a look in your Skyrim folder and delete excessive saves.

And do you have more than 2GB RAM? There's a .ini file tweak somewhere that makes Skyrim able to use more memory, which could also decrease the amount of CTDs.
