But I&#8217;ve finally been able to shrink down the post.<br \/>\nEver since I completed the Dragonborn and Dawnguard questlines(in this order) and been mod house hunting, I started getting these strange problems which have been stuck with me like a bad rash.<\/p>\n<p>What I remember, I put something in one of my custom house&#8217;s chests, then I quit and used BOSS due to getting a lot of FPS drops.<br \/>\nSince then, I&#8217;ve gotten <a href=\"http:\/\/puu.sh\/9r7Si\/d31f5a484c.png\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a> extremely annoying (and quite scary) error. What makes it scary, is the unpredictable nature of the crash as I said. It seems to happen mostly when in interiors. So, what&#8217;s more scary than being in a dark cave during the Dawnguard questline, and suddenly Falmers? The crash popping up in my face, laughing at me. To say I&#8217;m &#8220;scared&#8221; of a crash is rather childish, I know. But this is coming from someone that went through a serious BSoD that involved spending $400 to fix on new hardware.<br \/>\nOh yeah. This crash can also take on the form of a CTD with no error. Fun fun.<\/p>\n<p>I have nearly tried <em>everything<\/em>, and it seems like it just doesn&#8217;t want to be fixed. What I mean by &#8216;nearly&#8217;, is my only option is to reinstall Windows. Groan. Plus I forgot how to do it. Can you believe that? It&#8217;s been months since I eradicated that BSoD. But&#8230; I&#8217;m wondering of the severity of this crash.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m wondering, and fearing.. what if what I did &#8220;burned&#8221; it to my RAM? This could explain why I can&#8217;t remove whatever&#8217;s causing it. If it <em>is<\/em> this, an OS reinstall isn&#8217;t going to work.<br \/>\nYet&#8230; <strong><em>how<\/em><\/strong> is that even possible? I never heard BOSS doing this. This could be a virus that none of my scanners can pickup, and a reformat of the C would wipe it out.<\/p>\n<p>And even if, say it does go away by doing this, how do I prevent it from happening again? Avoiding BOSS like the plaque is the only thing I can think of. But what if it wasn&#8217;t BOSS that did it? Even blaming BOSS for this feels&#8230; like it&#8217;s just not possible. Seriously, BOSS is nothing but a load order recommender. How, and most importantly Why, would and could do this? It never happened before!<br \/>\nBut&#8230; it&#8217;s the only thing I got to blame. Because it was working fine until I used it.<\/p>\n<p>Why wouldn&#8217;t a reinstall of Skyrim fix it? Did I forget to delete something of the last time I tried? I wiped out EVERYTHING related to the game. &#8230; I just don&#8217;t get it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you can tell from the title, my gameplay has been far from enjoyable.
