Skyrim causing a BSOD

[danbeckwith]

This has been the first time I've ran Skyrim.
I installed it a few days ago on Steam and when I opened it, the launcher popped up and sorted out my graphics settings.

When I clicked play, the launcher closed and it seemed like Skyrim was getting ready to open, but it didn't. The computer lagged up loads, so much that I couldn't click anything or even move my mouse.

Then I blue screened!

I've tried updating my drivers, but now I don't even get a bluescreen. It just stays there, incredibly laggy!

I have also attached a zip file containing my dxdiag info, and minidumps etc.

Didn't make a difference it still crashed the whole PC

If you just updated it and it still crashed, then remove it.

In any case when ever there is another crash please upload it.

I found a fix! Its common amongst people with the Z77 Chipset motherboards. When installing the drivers, a program called Virtu MVP is installed along with them. This causes a lot of games to be unable to be opened.

Thanks for your help anyways!

If it is ok, could you please upload that last crash. I am interested in looking at it.

But apart from that if you are happy, could you please mark the thread as solved.
