Hello,

I bought the steam version of the legendary edition of Skyrim.

It has worked fine for a few month now.

Because my computer was quite slow, I decided to upgrade some hardware.

Today I had the RAM increased and a new harddrive (SSD) installed. The old harddrive (not SSD) remains mounted. The contents from the old drive were mirrored to the new harddrive.

Therefore I uninstalled all games, downloaded Skyrim (+the 3 main DLCs) from Steam and had them automatically installed on the harddrive.

Skyrim automatically set the setting to "high quality" when I first started.

When I tried loading my save-game, it seemed as if the game was moved to an invisible non-existing screen. I could still here the voices and sounds, but the screen went black. I had no choice but to reboot the entire system. Not even the task-manager reacted. I reinstalled the game (3x) and ran the check for invalid files. No results.

Then I reduced the settings to low quality and disabled all DLCs (as I read in other topics). I even reinstalled my sound and graphics driver. The result is, that now I'm getting a white screen and the loaded sounds are being played in a loop.

There are so many topics about issues like that, all with different solutions (that I mostly dont understand). Do you have any suggestions what I can do? Skyrim is my favourite game right now.

kind regards.

Jon

Do you have issues with other games?


When you mirrored files to the ssd, did that include the operating system?


If so, make sure that the system is booting from the correct drive.


You may have to perform a clean reinstall of Windows as some files may be corrupted.

Can you run the game in windowed mode, and look if you get any error messages?

Good morning,

I just trid installing other games. Some old games (GTA Vice City) dont seem to have the problem, other do (X3 TC). New games (The Crew) seem to have them all.

I tried running some CHKDSK and I'm getting some SSD-related errors.

I am currently backing up the old harddrive and all other data in order to whipe the old harddrive them. If this does not work, I will reinstall Windows.

I will get back to you as soon as I'm done with this

Yes, that's a good idea. Tell us what happened!
