Game detects PC and sets to Ultra. I've tried on all settings including low - All get crashes MASSIVE crashes of windows itself. The game will run for 5-10 minutes or so, then just go black without an error screen and I will have to force Windows to power down.

I've updated drivers and followed all official instructions released by Bethesda. I deleted and reinstalled and reinstalled the game. I'm at a complete and total loss, as my machine should run this game without a hiccup.

I'm so frustrated and heartbroken, I've fought with this since Tuesday.

Any suggestions?

Did you play at all before it was "patched"?

I was able to play perfectly before they patched the game. Can play anymore than 5 minutes now.

Patch made no difference for me

I'm not sure. I didn't get a chance to play until late Tuesday. If it was patched before then, No.
