I'm playing Skyrim for the PC and it keeps crashing to windows 7 desktop with no error message every 15-20 minutes or so.

This problem is getting very annoying as I have to save frequently and keep rebooting the game.

yes they are current. Could this be that my video card can't support the program?

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295. I went to NVIDIA and it checked out as working. Anything else I should try before looking at a new garphics card?

I have a Core i7 930 @2.8 GHz, two Radeon HD 5870's (1GB) in Crossfire, and 6GB of RAM.

I'm running the game on 1920x1080 on all "ultra" settings is 2x AA and 4X AF

You could try to disable crossfire, and see if that still happens. Seems a lot of games lately have problems dealing with SLi and/or crossfire.

Had/have same problem on pc and laptop its installed on. Believe it might be a problem with steam, because if run directly from launcher it does not crash.

I was getting a similar problem but I have an nvidia card. setting skyrim laucher to compatability for vista sp2 fixed it for me.

Its in the steamapps folder, I launch it from there instead of through steam and all is well...... so far!

I've been having the same problem. Crashes every 10 or 20 minutes randomly. I'm running a 5870 and Phenom ii x4 965, nothing overclocked, everything staying nice and cool. Ive tried the game at ultra and high graphics settings, 1920x1080 and 3240x1920 resolution. Still have the crashing problem.

Some other problems I'm having include a lot of textures turning purple for some reason, and sometimes they are invisible, usually if I'm inside a building.

Another REALLY annoying problem for eyefinity users is that there is text saying "LEVEL UP" stuck in the HUD on almost the middle of the screen, which blocks a lot of text descriptions on items, and is impossible to get rid of except for making the HUD invisible, which then you lose your compass, words when you pick up items, etc... :fou: :fou: :fou:

Here is what fixes the CTD for lots of folks. Seems to have worked for me.

Adjust Windows Sound settings to 24bit 44100mhz (not 24bit 48000mhz).

I tried this and it also did NOT solve the crashing problem.

I did that and it's still crashing.

Although it did solve the sound issues with static during NPC dialogue.

I'm using creative Fatal1ty X-fi

I have to say I'll never buy a game by Bethesda again, unless they quickly fix these bugs and test their damn games they make so much hype about...

Quoted from Bethesda's sticky post.

"Wanted to let everyone know that we are working on the next update for the game. Once we have more information on what that covers/fixes, we'll let everyone know."

They'd damn well better fix the crashing issues!

We shouldn't jump to conclusions because we don't know exactly what is causing the crashes. Whether it be a driver problem, a steam glitch, or an error with the game's code.
