VANILLA Skyrim crashes after a minute of playing

Skyrim keeps crashes on me... It takes about 30-60 seconds after I've loaded a game for it to just shut down without further notice. 

As the topic states, I'm playing vanilla Skyrim, so its not because of any mods. 

I've tried googling this problem and most just refer to the fact that you've messed up your data files (which I have not)

Example of 'fixes'

Any ideas?

Possible that you disabled the skyrim.esm in the data files? It's one of the options on the launcher.

This is happening to GTA 4 for me! exact same problem

Have you tried reinstalling/repairing directX and .net framework found in Skyrim distrib folder?

Your Skyrim ini files may be corrupted.

Try delete skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini from your documents/my games/skyrim folder, then Launch Skyrim through the vanilla launcher again for the game to configure a new one.

This happened to me with Fallout: NV. And I assume Skyrim will recreate an ini file as the ini location, structure, format etc is the same.

Have you tried the chocolate version?

You should get some of the community patches/bugfix mods. Bethesda games are not only funner with mods, but usually more stable, too. Bethesda doesn't bugcheck. They have no quality control department. True story.

Wow guys so I got it to work by running everything on low settings. PLayed for 10 minutes without crashing now so I assume its fine.

But... Why? I run it with 40+ fps on Ultra. Could this be a RAM issue? W7 limiting my ram to 3gb...
