Skyrim Shroud Hearth Barrow Crash…
August 2nd, 2013
"If the player has completed Innocence Lost and has been contacted by the Dark Brotherhood, sleeping in Shroud Hearth Barrow after killing Wyndelius Gatharian will cause the player to be transported to an abandoned shack and as a result the area is reset and provides no way to reach the word of power. (Unconfirmed)"

That could be causing it..
I’ve had issues after using “racechangemenu” midgame, such as semi-random crashes etc.. Started over, game is now working fine.

With way over 100 hours in-game, starting over is not an option. I have more detail, though – I was able to get in Shroud Hearth Barrow, by going in the proper entrance (I had been trying to walk on top of it). BUT, as soon as the area inside loads I am underwater, and the objects are floating around me.The ‘water” is just a flat blue color. I can get to the surface, and all I see is the blue color going out into the distance, static picture of clouds above, and the area items floating around (enchanters table, an arch, etc.). Then it crashes…
This might seem silly but have you tried entering on lower settings? or maybe even tried the “TLL” console command?
(does the following)
Disable/Enable LOD, which will reduce your view distance drastically (can be useful for a performance gain or for certain glitches and annoyances that pertain to LOD)
Maybe it’s the spectral bugging out? enter it, “killall”..
Bummer that you can’t enter
If it doesnt work then I suggest make a post on the official forums.. :/ (if you haven’t already)
Well I went to an earlier save and was able to finish SHroud Hearth Barrow – but then i went to Giermans (spelling?) Hall and as soon as I opened the door the game crashed to desktop. So it must not be specific locations, but rather something going on with the game entirely.
What release and which version are you running?
