Skyrim stutters every 5 second I played the game for 100 + hours without problem, then this problem appears.
Skyrim freezes then resumes then freezes every 5 seconds after playing for a few minutes.
I tried re-installing the game, lowering the graphics to low, removing all mods.
This is also not a savegame issue, it happens even in a new game.
Also tried running in windowed mode, did not fix the issue.
I also tried using game booster(to see if a background is causing this).
I also tried running the game in my Windows XP partition, got the same problem.
I do have the latest drivers and patch.
One thing I have noticed is my CPU load goes from around 90% to 30% during the freezing.
Any help is appreciated. | My System Specs |

update your card's driver, Direct X and run antivirus and anti spyware. CPU usage going high is normal while playing games.
Let us know what is the outcome. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Bulid/Self made OS Windows 7 ultimate x64 CPU i5 2500K @ 3.3 GHz Motherboard ASUS P68Z77 V pro Memory 16 GB DDR 3 1600Mhz Graphics Card HIS 6870 HD 1GB DDR5 ICEqX edition Sound Card On Board (Realtek HD audio) Monitor(s) Displays Samsung 22" LCD Screen Resolution 1920*1080 Keyboard TVSE Gold Mouse Logitech PSU coolermaster 750 W Case Coolermaster HAF912 Hard Drives Seagate 1 TB, WD 1TB, Seagate 2 TB ( I use a lot of space) Internet Speed Wireless 3.1 Mbps Antivirus AVG 2013 Internet Security Browser Google Chrome |

Have you tried it on a different harddrive? There could be something wrong with the harddrive itself | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspiron 15R N5110 OS Windows 7 Professional 64bit CPU i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz, 4 Cores, 8 Logical Processors Motherboard Dell 0HVRTT Memory 8GB DDR3 Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M Monitor(s) Displays 15.6" Monitor Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 Mouse Razer Deathadder Hard Drives 500 GB |

The CD drive (if your using one for the game) is currently acting up, reading the scratches on the disk and reply it to the game, making it freeze up.

The drivers the patches and dx are up to date, I have tried installing it on other hard drive did not fix issue. Strangely turning on FXAA reduces the frequency of the freezes.
I will try defragging the hard drive.

I don't play skyrim so I don't know whether this is an online game or not but I believe that it is... if that is the case, it could be as simple as your internet having issues or their server and not necessarily you.
This is Memorial weekend so I assume more people are playing online than normal? | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Vista x64 + Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate) CPU Intel Q9650 Motherboard EVGA 780i FTW Memory 8GBs Corsair Dominator 1066Mhz Graphics Card Asus GTX660 (2GBs) + MSI 9600GT (PhysX) Sound Card Onboard Realtek HD Monitor(s) Displays Acer AL2216W Screen Resolution 1680 x 1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G9 PSU PC Cooling 750w Silencer Case Thermaltake Spedo Advance Cooling CM 8V Hard Drives WD VelociRaptor 300GB

This is Memorial weekend so I assume more people are playing online than normal? It's a single player game AstaLaVista, it does not need the internet either (unless you need to register it to Steam). | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Hewlett-Packard OS Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600) Memory 4096MB RAM Graphics Card Radeon ATI HD4870 Monitor(s) Displays NVIDIA GeForce GT220 Screen Resolution 1680 x 1050 |
