Thanks in advance for any help peter bolam Wed, 05 Jun 2013 22:18:27 +0100 http://www.gamersnexus.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=661#josc3441 Getting error code 51. I think it might be related to the update yesterday. I noticed when I signed off that Steam was updating and I hit cancel because I was in a hurry to leave. The next time I played and I saw this error. I tried the two fixes up and none of the dll files I see when I search belong to Skyrim.

I've tried all the things based on this statement and can't find a solution to my problem. I've also recently upgraded to Windows 8 so the compatibility might have affected the game.

The verify integrity thing said there was 1 corrupt file and said it would reacquire it, do I need to do anything? Also, with the .dll thingy, I'm not even sure where that could be if I did have one... Please help.

Everytime i load Skyrim it works fine for 5 minutes then i get a black screen... My computer works fine on other programmes, its just Skyrim. can anyone please help... i have a GT220 Thanks Delboy65 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 18:27:08 +0100 http://www.gamersnexus.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=661#josc2671 I have already tried the first two things stated as fixes for the error code 51 problem. The problem began occurring after I downloaded official nvidia drivers for my gt 630m card. The ones I had before were outdated and wouldn't allow me to use my nvidia card at all (i have an intel hd 4000 and an nvidia geforce gt 630m that's supposed to kick in during gaming). I have about 5 d3d9.dll files and none of them are in the skyrim folder so I'm not sure what to delete. I know my problem has something to do with the updated drivers but I have no idea what to do to fix this and I'm very tentative about trying to download different drivers off of anything but the official nvidia site as I don't know what's reliable and safe. Cole Conner Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:48:05 +0100 http://www.gamersnexus.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=661#josc2653 I have a copy if TESV 1.6.89 and if this is put in then I simply get a crash to desktop. Allowing steam to synchronize/update did not get me the 1.7.7 patch but did get me about 6 meg of other files/whatever. So I think this problem is somewhere in the additional files downloaded with the patch. Peter Fri, 24 Aug 2012 16:01:16 +0100 http://www.gamersnexus.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=661#josc2652 this happens whatever I am playing so let us use a new game for example. Load Skyrim, by TESV; Launcher or SKSE and it gets to the point where it says Bethesda Presents then restarts my computer. I have verified cache - fine I do not have d3d9.dll so cannot delete it. No hardweare or drivers have been changed or updated on my computer so it must be the patch - any suggestions?

Were you able to play without problems before any changes? In your situation, my approach would be to back-up the saved files and re-install Skyrim completely. I mean entirely. Delete all local content from Steam (after backing up your saves), visit your /skyrim folder, ensure all of its contents are gone, and then re-install completely. This will wipe any modifications that were made by patches or inadvertent modifications that may be non-native, so it should get you rolling again.

Let me know if it's not there! You may need to enable hidden files or something... to do that, hit alt (assuming win7) when Windows Explorer (a folder) is open, go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> Show hidden files. @Abner: The Skyrim4GB mod is now deprecated since Skyrim natively supports larger addresses. Could you be more specific about what is broken? @Brian: Yikes! Weird. Go to the SkyUI mod page and ensure you follow its removal/uninstallation directions. Do you have any other mods installed? You may want to go to Steam -> Properties of Skyrim -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of the Game's Cache and make sure it's still good. If Steam says it is, I can get more specific on removal instructions... though I need to know if you have other important mods installed.

Gå in till kontrollpanelen, sen ljud. Ändra Standardformat till : 16 bitar, 44100 Hz så ska det hoppa igång hoppas de hjälper! Det funkade för mig iaf.

Let's try the easy fix first -- I'm not sure if this will help, but I've had similar issues to you because of it. 1 - Go to Control Panel 2 - Go to 'Sound' 3 - Speaker Properties 4 - Advanced tab 5 - Set the quality to 24 bit, 48000 quality I've had Skyrim crash in a similar fashion by trying to play with higher sound quality settings. See if that helps. If this doesn't fix it, I might have to get you to run some crash log utilities so we can figure out exactly why it's crashing - maybe it's power consumption.[/quote] I've already dropped the audio quality, i couldn't even run the game because i have a studio quality sound system and so was using studio settings. It wouldn't even let me start the game until that was fixed. Now i can play the game, however sometimes (at random intervals and very rarely not at all) the game will crash, my screen will go black and there will be a sound loop. I will have to hard reset my PC and lose all data since the last autosave... Also sorry about the delay, i've been busy with work and getting ready for my next semester of ollege D_star Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:20:34 +0100 http://www.gamersnexus.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=661#josc1462 [quote=Lelldorianx]@Al: I believe that's because Bethesda has included that fix into their latest patch, so a mod is no longer required.

Im still unsure why it was crashing... from what ive read, There is a hagraven you first encounter when you enter hags end, who than teleports away, and you chase her through the dungeon, and re-encounter her apoun exiting. I did encounter her when entering hags end, (not sure if i killed her or not) but never saw her again, and when I simply bypassed hags end, she was not anywhere to be found outside the dungeon, near the shield's location. I couldnt find any other instances of others having the same problem as me, but I suspect its linked to this teleporting hag somehow. only other crashes related to hags end, that i found, were either related to the power word wall, or the teleporting hag... IE:(killing her in 1 shot before she can teleport).

I'm glad you've saved your game. Did you manage to figure out what was causing the issue and fix it? We were down the last two days for service updates, but we're back now. If you haven't fixed it yet, let me know and I'll help you investigate so you can finish that quest properly ;) Lelldorianx Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:46:43 +0100 http://www.gamersnexus.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=661#josc1410 Okay i [b]was[/b] able to access the area on the other end of hags end. the exit door, was almost right above the entrance.

I was hoping there might be a command to teleport away, I was worried it might not work from indoors. But that got me free, so 9 hours gameplay saved! Capital! You saved my save game. But I hope we can fix the crashes so I can complete this quest. I really cant stand the solitude home, proudespire mannor, so im counting on markath home to be a bit better. Anyway, I can fast travel back to destination "hags end". the game loads okay. But if I re-enter dungeon I become trapped again. Im not sure if i can test the wilderness area on the opposite end of hags end, because it might be innaccesable unless passing through hags end. Im not really positive where the dungeon will dump me out anyway. or i would walk there to see if the area loads. justin Sun, 25 Dec 2011 11:04:53 +0100 http://www.gamersnexus.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=661#josc1408 This fix might disable your Steam achievements, fair warning: 1. Launch Skyrim and load your game (in the dungeon). 2. Open console with the ` (tilde) key. 3. Type in the following: [i]coc Whiterun[/i] This will teleport you to the center of Whiterun in the event that the zone immediately outside of Hag's End is causing crash issues. If you still crash when teleporting to Whiterun, please let me know and we'll sort you out. As the banner at the top says, we'll be updating over the next few days, so our site may be unavailable at times. Feel free to email me directly if we're unavailable. Jot down my email from this page: [url]http://www.gamersnexus.net/contact-us[/url] (I'm Steve). Best of luck! Enjoy your holidays. I think we can get this sorted out for you, no worries ;) Lelldorianx Sun, 25 Dec 2011 03:56:09 +0100 http://www.gamersnexus.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=661#josc1405 Please help! ive been playing skyrim a while now, 2 chracters, both around level 45. i have had random crashes here and there but nothing like this. i was doing the quest to retrieve Hrolfdir's Shield. I cleared hags end, got my shout, but crash when loading out of the dungeon into deepwoods vale. ive tried both exits from the dungeon. i tried rebooting, i even downloaded and tried the 4gb mod. my next newest save is 9 play hours, and 5 levels ago. justin Sun, 25 Dec 2011 02:19:49 +0100 http://www.gamersnexus.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=661#josc1361 Hey there, D_star!

This is an error that happens randomly throughout the game, i will be playing just fine and then suddenly both of my monitors will go black and nothing will work, there will be a sound loop if there was any sound playing and i am unable to do anything (like cntrl+alt+delete/cntrl+shift+esc/alt+tab) but restart my computer. It doesn't cause any damage to my saves other than i lose all data since my last save. I have a gateway gt5674 with: AMD Phenom II: 2.2 GHZ quad core 4GB DDR2 dual channel RAM Nvidia GE Force 8800 512mb RAM (overclocked but haven't had issues with the overclock before and disabling the overclock does nothing for the crash) windows 7 64 bit and several 7200 RPM disc drives each dedicated either to the O.S. or the game or whatever.

I've definitely seen stuff like that in Oblivion and Morrowind, but haven't yet personally encountered it with Skyrim. My save games are about 16MB, but I'm using Skyrim4GB to launch my game, so that may make things work better. There are a few things to try here -- first things first, though: 1. Backup all your saved games to a folder on your desktop or a folder that is otherwise isolated from Skyrim, just in case something goes wrong. You don't want to lose all that work. 2. Try Skyrim 4GB -- it's the easiest thing to try and you'll notice right away whether or not it works. Link here to the mod: [url]http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1013[/url] 3. You know how Skyrim shows a small thumbnail/preview of your saved game file when you go to load it in the main menu? Do your thumbnail/previews of your saved games look normal, or are they distorted in any way at all?
