Fallout 3 crashing on me!!! KILLLLLLLL!!!!!

[Da Viksta]

hey guys,

i got fallout 3 because it looked really good, and ive been enjoying it no end since i got it.... until.... the game started crashing.

at first, it wasnt serious, once every 2 hours or so, i let it slip, since i rarely play for more than an hour in a stretch

then it got worse.... every 30 or so mins

now its got to a point where after loading a game, i crash and get the good ol' "Fallout 3 has stopped working" error message. the problem details are below:

Ive disabled all my overclocks, updated my drivers to the latest 185.85 drivers, turned off SLI and done pretty much everything under the moon, but nothing seems to work. does anyone know what could be causing this error, and how i can fix it?

I know this game is known for crashing. First things first, go to the bethesda website and try their solutions (yea, thats how often these problems occur... solutions are on their own website).

Read through this thread. It's also a Fallout 3 CTD thread. There are a few fixes there.

Post back here and let us know how you've made out.
