Thank you for taking your time and helping me out with this problem ^_^

I have Skyrim on Steam and have been playing it for the past few months with no hiccups at all. I've downloaded mods from Skyrim Nexus via their mod manager and mods form the Steam Workshop with no problem or conflicts.

Recently though I've run into a problem that I hope is a simple graphics bug. While playing Skyrim everything comes out pixelated (I think that would be the right term) with little squares appearing all over the screen. They don't cover the entire screen but show up frequently on things like cloths, faces, water, snow, and torches.

Its not a mod conflicting with anything. I went through them all and periodically tested each mod to make sure. And it also shouldn't be my graphics card (a AMD Radeon HD 6700 series or thereabouts) as I don't have this problem with any of my other games.

I've tried uninstalling all mods and running the game plain vanilla, same with re-installing it and have still encountered the problem.

Some help would be much appreciated as I thoroughly enjoy the game and would like to play it. Otherwise this would have been a pointless waste of money imo.

Again thank you for your time.

I remember reading something about the latest AMD drivers borking up Skyrim's graphics, something about how AMD handles anti-aliasing that conflicts with Skyrim's anti-aliasing.

From what I can remember reading, I think the solution is to to disable the AA settings in Skyrim and let your GPU handle all the AA... or it might be the other way round, but I'm pretty sure it's an AA conflict between your GPU and the game, so you can only have AA performed by one or the other.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I don't actually have an AMD card and only skimmed through a topic about this problem on Gamefaqs, but I never read much past the first posts because it doesn't affect me.

Thank you for the the advice and atm anything right now is better than knowing nothing ans stumbling around in the dark.

I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
