So I've started suffering those dreaded game instability problems. I posted in the "crashes during gameplay" thread but got no responses.
My game was fine for months, then I went to Solstheim and noticed ctds increased a little, but when I returned to Skyrim, my game was unplayable. I couldn't travel outside more than 50 feet without a ctd. I found that by unchecking ASIS mods made the game became much more stable, though traveling on horseback for more than a few minutes would result in a ctd.
Here's the strange part though. Returning to areas where the extra spawns have already been spawned does not cause crashes, its only when new, extra spawns are made is there a problem. Also, whilst I spent many game days in Solstheim
when I returned I noticed the merchants in Whiterun had not restocked. I updated Wrye Bash to 304, checked the respawn [5] days, rebuilt and waited in the inn for 6 days, but they still had no money!
1st off, I've cleaned all my mods according to BOSS, removed any "extra spawns" type mods, removed all old, early mods made prior to the CK (these were logging errors in Edit when it was building), removed ALL retexture mods, except ore veins and potions, checked bash tweaks setting for max actors to 80 and max actors in combat to 100. I even made a merged patch!
Here is my current, stable(ish), load order:

So my questions are:
Which of the above causes extra spawns to cause ctds?
Why won't some areas/merchants respawn?
Pls halp
