Hi.

My Skryim keeps crashing for no reason. I installed it a few months ago onto my hard drive and I wish to play it again with a new save. However, it keeps crashing. None of the software or hardware has changed (apart from a new sound card). The game had zero problems when I last played it. Other games run fine and this is actually the first crash of a game I saw in the months I built the PC.

My spec is a i5 3570K Ivy Bridge @ 3.7GHz
HD 7850 @ 1040MHz
Gigabyte Z77 motherboard
8GB Corsair 1600MHz RAM
650W OCZ ZS Power Supply

The tempetures are fine and so are the overclocks (I had the same overclock when I last played the game). This is the only game which has crashing problems on my PC and I reguarly play BF3, World of Warcraft, Left 4 dead, Team fortress 2 etc

I'm currently on the CCC version 12.10

Thanks for your help.

Edit: I also have a problem similar to this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbtzLObQr8o but much worse.
Edit2: Tried updating to 12.11 beta drivers and the flickering has reduced quite a bit but the crashing is still there.

what sound card is it? is it an asus by any chance?

if its an asus sound card then try going into the sound software/audio manager and disable GX mode :)
 
I've just reinstalled the game and the crashes still happen, also tried without a overclock.

The sound card is a Asus Xonar DX 7.1 PCI-Express Sound Card and GX is disabled but it still crash:(

And yes, it's the latest patch.

I've noticed a crash always happens at the same spot. It did not do this and I used the same disc to installed it when it worked last time so I am unsure why it happens :(
 
If this is on steam right click on the the game in the steam games list, got to properties and the validate the files.

This solved constant crashing after a pitch the other day.
