BSOD 1e with Skyrim SE, no further parameters

Checked there too; can't find anything of the sort in-game. Looked at the Steam config and all I could find was acceleration for the Web Helper (or whatever they call the interface within the Steam app).

Tough one since it seems to be spurious. I don't know if this occurs when you happen to be doing the same thing each time. Did this occur before updating the graphics card driver?

I wouldn't anticipate any system file being corrupted. You could run sfc /scannow but I doubt it would find anything.

Yes, the problem was present before updating drivers; I started there after the blue screens started, since that seems to be the leading cause of the 1e, is driver incompatibility. As for where the crash occurs during gameplay, it's never the same. I can reboot after the crash and repeat everything I was doing, and all is well. I have run sfc /scannow on numerous occasions as well as chkdsk and neither find any errors.
At this point I'm running out of ideas. Can't seem to narrow it down to a hardware issue or software. I'm definitely still open for suggestions.

Early on, I posted a link to the Nexus forum. Did you try there?

I see your post at that forum. I'm not really enamored with that forum. Doesn't look like anyone from Nexus monitors it. I did some searching on it and found a BSOD post related to Skyrim but it wouldn't open.

I am kind of under the same impression. Had to repost because I couldn't find my original...
I tried it again yesterday with the side panel of my case off and 2 fans on high, and again made it about an hour.
Here's something that may offer a clue, however: I got a 1-2 second flicker of my desktop accompanied by the message that says "Windows has detected your computer's performance is slow..." with the options to change aero settings, remind me again, etc. (I'm not looking at it, but I'm sure we know the one.) If I understand the cause correctly, I believe that means low video memory. I can almost understand 1GB not being enough, but shouldn't that have been a problem from the start? Is there a program to monitor and/or log the GPU memory usage?

If it had to do with aero, I would say it is referring to RAM. On systems with only a couple GB of RAM, it is usually recommended that aero should be disabled. On your system, it shouldn't be a problem unless one or more of the sticks have gone south.

Yea, I'm pretty sure 16GB is plenty. I've monitored the usage and have never seen it above 41% under any circumstances. As I mentioned previously, I've ran test after test using Windows memory diagnostic multiple times and memtest86+ for a total of twenty-some complete passes. No errors at all. I've even looked for leaks with no success.

Though the pursuit continues, I want to say thanks, wither, for sticking with me here. You've gone out of your way to help find a solution. My hat's off to you. Perhaps a conclusion will be reached and we can all learn something here.

Thanks. Hopefully we will find that solution.

Is your Firefox up to date? There was a problem (supposedly corrected) which caused graphics cards to be shutdown for a few seconds but there was usually a message that identified that a problem had occurred with the graphics card and that it had recovered. Might be worth running IE temporarily and shutting down Firefox.
