Question

Posted

So, I can't seem to start a New Game, after choosing that option from the menu, the game will freeze. I decided to take use Skyrim Performance Monitor, and this was the result.

As you can see, there's a big drop in memory around Sample 345, and I have no idea what's causing it.

 

The actual order of events is:

 

Sample 1-60: Skyrim is starting, the game screen has not opened

 

Sample 60-180: Game Screen opens, Main menu is loading

 

Sample 180-345: Main menu finishes loading. Selecting New Game causes the gradual rise in memory useage.

 

Sample 345- : Memory usage drops, game freezes, but does not CTD.

 

The last time I played Skyrim was about a month ago, and I remember Skyrim taking using at least 1gb of RAM. I honestly have no idea what could be causing this. Anyone know what's wrong?

 

My game is heavily modded, but I do not believe that is the cause. I use Mod Organizer, which keeps each Mod's files separate and puts them together into a virtual data folder when needed, and BOSS tells me I have no major conflicts.

 

Note that although BOSS lists my total mods as 257, several of them are inactive, so I'm actually below the 255 limit

 

Running Skyrim with no mods leads the the same issue, although I'm able to go further.

What could cause something like this? I've never run into a similar issue before. I haven't noticed this with any other program, so I'm inclined to think it happens only with Skyrim, but I'm not sure if any of my other programs require as much memory as Skyrim.

Well he is using Intel Graphics 3000, which means that he did not set up something properly and his discreet card is not being used or he doesn't have a discreet gpu and the game crashes before the cpu explodes.

 

If you have ENB or some other injector installed then you need the Optimus fix use them properly, search for it on the nexus.

@OP check your bios settings it looks like your cpu's graphics chip is enabled instead of your separate graphics card is not active. That is if you have a separate card.

 

Darn refresh settings got me ninja'd ESRB beat me to it.
