First off, my apologies if there are posts for this elsewhere. I find it unlikely that they don't exist already, but I didn't find them while searching.

I have a relatively new game in which I was spending some time in Bruma. It had been performing well aside from a few weird freezes when releasing an arrow from my bow shortly before my current problem. I walked out the east door of Bruma to practice some speechcraft on the guards I hadn't earned the ire of yet, and when I was done I could no longer successfully load the city's cell. I open the door, it begins to load, but when the load bar gets maybe 1/5 of the way there the screen goes black. It plays the music from inside the city, but I can't jump or move, bring up the developer console or otherwise interact with the game whatsoever. It's never a crash to desktop, just a livelock that forces me shut it down with the task manager. I tried entering the city at different times of day and four days after I exited the gates with the same result.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? I'll figure out how to get a printout of my system information to post if it's needed, I just haven't had to do that before so I don't know how off the top of my head. I am running a decent number of mods, but nothing I haven't used in the past.

Download and install them, but just make sure that you have no problem with them and all is working properly.

When you have done this just run BOSS and use Wrye Bash to rebuild the bashed patch. Please post your LO here again.
