I have been getting a freezing issue with skyrim. The bethesda logo pops up and then the game freezes. The game sound still goes on as if it isn't frozen.

Things I have tried:
All possible audio configurations (Bit depth/rate)
SKSE
Using LOOT to fix order of .esm loads
clean install
verifying game cache
dual booting into windows 7 (same issue)
adjusting audio configurations on windows 7.

I'm just not sure what else I can do.

Try this:
- unsub and delete workshop mods from the DATA section of splash screen.
- deactivate and delete all Nexus and "other" mods from the game.
- delete Local Content via Steam by right clicking on game from Steam Library.
- exit Steam
- delete all files in Steam>Steamapps>Common>Skyrim folder.
- delete all files in Users>(user name)>My Documents>My Games>Skyrim
folder. (copy Saves folder to desktop, your saves may not work with the new install because of the mods no longer being active.)
- turn off the computer, wait a couple mins., restart computer. This will make sure all the software hooks are reset.
- re-install Skyrim from Steam by right clicking on the game icon in your Steam library.
- verify game cache. (its safe to ignore the "1 file..." message.)
- check load order from the DATA section of the splash screen: dawnguard, hearthfires, dragonborn, HR textures 1, 2, 3.
- test game installation with new character. (don't add any 3rd party mods untill after exitting Helgen Cave.)
- if the game is now stable, make a copy of your Skyrim folders and paste them to a safe space. That way you won't have to re-download the game next time you need to re-install.

Assuming he followed the above steps I posted, he should have had a completely vanilla skyrim.

Yeah I was running vanilla, the only "mods" i tried are the unofficial patches to see if they fixed it. My specs are in my signature, and my psu is a cx850 bronze. Not the best, but i can live with it for now lol.

Edit: This does not happen with any other game either :(
