Hello people. I reinstalled Fallout 3. And I had bought all the expansions for it. Plus I have installed a few mods, using FOMM. First 2 hours or so of me running around and killing stuff was smooth as silk, game ran with no hiccups, no nothing. And all of a sudden I will be playing, and the game freezes, and will not respond. so I have to go kill it in task manager. And if I start playing again, maybe for 10-20 minutes it plays fine, and then it happens again. The issue is not with my GPU. And I am running W7. Quad-Core AMD, with 4 Gigs of RAM. I had similar thing happen when I played Stalker, and someone recommended on a different forum that I use a program called LaTiDoo, but I cant find a website for that program now, or even remember what it did to allow me to play Stalker without anymore problems. Here is one of the messages in the event center. The program Fallout3.exe version 1.7.0.3 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel. Process ID: 1b98 Start Time: 01cb89514ea12918 Termination Time: 221 Application Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Fallout3.exe Report Id: Can anyone give me some suggestions?

Update all your drivers and use Driver Sweeper, then reinstall the latest DirectX.

Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP.Also check if you have the Quad Core hotfix from Microsoft,not sur that you need it for Win7,but check any way.
