It didnt work 

Maybe you good folks could help me out here. Long story:   I was happily playing my favorite game, progressing nicely. In Sovngarde, fighting the Foul Wyrm, Alduin with my Level 41 Redguard archer, when all of a sudden......CTD. Now I wasn't worried as my Skyrim crashes on the regular. Usually around 40 mins-1 hour of playing. (My system isnt very powerul. Standard laptop) Went on YouTube watched a couple of videos, was about to start Skyrim again when i saw i needed to upgrade some mods. Namely Alternate Start and the Unofficial Patches for Skyrim, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn.   Updated them, started SKSE from NMM. Bethesda Logo, Skyrim Logo, CTD. Did some troubleshooting, because i know when the game crashes there its a load order problem. Made some minor changes (can't remember exactly what changes i made), started Skyrim and this time i t crashed Before the Besthesda Logo. Black screen, crash. Scoured the internet for solutions, tried everything I could find. I went through one by one disabling .esp's from my load order in NMM, using LOOT and finally got down to the point where it looked like this:   Skyrim.esm Update.esm Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp Dawnguard.esm Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp HearthFires.esm Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp Dragonborn.esm Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp   My game STILL crashed at the Skyrim logo.   I've had Skyrim meltdowns before, but nothing like this. I continued to uncheck until i was left with Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp.................crash. Now, feeling defeated after putting over 150+ hours into my Redguard, I deleted every ounce of Skyrim from my system, registry cleaned it, restart my comp, fresh reinstall Skyrim. It did the same thing   I then thought it was a system problem and not the game but my other games work without a problem so i dont know what it could be. Anybody??

I literally had the SAME exact problems. Except my system isn't as powerful as yours so I have a lot less mods. But anyway, it wasnt until i got rid of anything that had to with HDT physics that my crashes became less of an issue. I still get crashes but on a lower scale then i did. It's weird because before i had no crash problems. Could play the game for hours. But then my hard drive crashed and i had to get a new one and then i had the same problems you have and i got rid of the HDT stuff. Still trying to figure out how I can get it back to what it used to be....
