I just want to play Skyrim SE. All my other games work fine.

The game launches fine from Steam, and appears to run well. However, on the intro cut-scene the game has randomly crashed several times. Freezing up the whole PC, and requiring a reboot. When it doesn't freeze on the intro cut-scene the game seems to run without an issue, until I need to save and quit. I have been able to save and quit to menu (other times the game just freezes on pressing save). If I try to quit the game to desktop from any menu it crashes the game, freezing the PC once again, If i do a reboot and re-launch the game, my save file is no longer present putting me back at square one. I haven't seen this problem anywhere else and I am fed up of trying to sort this myself, hopefully someone can help.

Here is a list of some things I have tried:

- Verified game cache

- Updated the AMD drivers for my GPU

- Tried running the game in compatibility mode for Windows 7 + Windows 8

- Ran the game as administrator

- Played the game in Windowed Mode

- Lowered all the graphical settings

- Turned off my AV during play

- Updated to the beta (1.1.51)

- Fresh install

Here are some specs of my PC:

OS: Windows 10 Pro (fully updated)

GPU: AMD Radeon R9 270x 4gb (sapphire) (driver update 16.11.2)

CPU: Intel i5 4670k

RAM: 16gb

DirectX: 12

I appreciate all replies
