My game freezes after about 2-3 minutes of gameplay i have everything updated no mods installed and have played the game on this computer before on max settings but right before i fight the first rat my controls freeze up, i have no idea why but time still passes, if anyone has any experience with this problem help is gladly accepted

So, the game is still running, but, you can't do anything?

yea the game is running but i cant move the mouse or keyboard in game when i alt-tab everthing works fine

I wonder if an error dialog box popped up behind the game and took your kb/mouse focus away from the main window. Maybe try closing all apps and ending any non essential processes before playing.

This is a not so common problem with Oblivion...... it is caused by codecs, unfortunately, we don't know exactly which one(s)..... You could try installing the klite basic codec pack.... and see if that doesn't solve the issue. (make sure it is set to repair broken codecs, and that FFDShow is set to ignore oblivion, audio, and video.)
