Sounds like a memory issue if it's randomly crashing... Could also be the
graphics card. Try updating the drivers. If you're already using the newest
drivers, check their website and make sure theres no issues with the card
you're using. Either way, you're better off asking them what's causing the
problem.

asked already, they told to update driver which i already did

Set the CPU affinity for the fallout.exe to run on one core only, Fallout 3
will crash if it try's to use more than one core.

Disable thge tablet software service.
Disable spybot search and destory
Disable all non essential apps.

On mine the screen freezes, mostly it happens on specific maps.

Fallout 3 won’t work at all for some reason!
On the launcher screen when I click play, the game will attempt to
load. It’s a black screen with the hour glass cursor in the middle. Then
the game crashes to my desktop and the error message says “An error has
been encountered and the program needs to shut down.” I have tried so
many different solutions but non have worked.
Is anyone having the same problem or know how to fix?
What the hell is going on! I haven’t even got to see the introduction
of the game.
Please help!
