Re: game keeps crashing every5-10 mins
The site is fine, but you need to make the files accessible to anyone with a link.
Please note that playing a modified game means we may not be able to help, as the problem could be caused by the mod(s) you're using.

Re: game keeps crashing every5-10 mins
The crashdump is a bit inconclusive, but it does suggest that it could be mod-related as it comes from a part of the game that is frequently modified and doesn't have any known issues when used with unmodified files.
The only thing that stands out in your DXDiag is that you have quite a few sound devices, with drivers of wildly varying ages. I suggest you disable any devices you're not using and install updated drivers for your on-board Realtek sound device (use the Realtek website for this, not Windows Update). It probably won't help, but it's worth a try.
Other than that I'm afraid you're going to have to reproduce the problem with an unmodified game (not just a save where mods have been disabled) in order for us to spend any more time investigating. Failing that you'd have to take the matter up with the author(s) of the mod(s) you are using.

Re: game keeps crashing every5-10 mins
Gotcha thank you for your time and will try a non modified save etc. see if I can narrow down what the issue may be, I shall also update more of my drivers manually and see if the issue keeps going. If you wish to close this, I would appreciate it, again thank you for your help

sorry to revive this, but even on medium graphics it still happens, but so i get this right, disable all mods and start a vanilla save? just curious if i have to remove the mods or just starting a new save without them on is fine, i really want this to work as my old PC had no crashed but ran like poop lol

Re: game keeps crashing every5-10 mins - modified game, player investigating
Ideally you'd move the entire modified installation out of the way and create a fresh, clean one, because some mods leave files lying around outside the expected mod locations, which the game has no way of knowing about. However, if that's a problem then you could first try just disabling all mods and starting a fresh game. If that doesn't show up as modified in the menus then there's a reasonable chance that your installation is otherwise clean.

Re: game keeps crashing every5-10 mins - modified game, player investigating
all good since i still the mod zips still lying around i'll just remove them and grab a clean install to double make sure
i'd rather be safe and figure out the issue, might take a bit longer but figuring it out will be good and maybe help others

Just a thought... How "new" is new?CloudedxMarbles wrote: ↑Thu, 21.

A week, six months?
The only reason I ask is I had a client with a "new" gaming computer with a similar crashing issue.
Turned out the CPU heatsink wasn't fitted correctly and was not contacting the surface properly.

Good luck. I hope it turns out to be something simple for you.
If you're not sure about something there are plenty of demonstration videos on youtube, or you could try asking here.
