PC Gaming - Never simple is it?

So it was my birthday yesterday, and my main present was a new laptop, a TOSHIBA Satellite (I forget the exact model there is so many of them, but it's got 4GB RAM, intel i5 processor and an NVIDIA 1GB graphics card). So anyway the first game I wanted to try on it was Fallout 3 so I installed it with no problems. But now literally after a minute or so of play, every time it just crashes, I get an error message and have to Ctrl Alt Delete to end it.

I figured that getting a PC with a certain spec would enable you to play games that are years old and should easily play but apparently not. Fallout 3 crashed on my old laptop which had Vista, now this has Windows 7 that is the new problem that's stopping a game from working.

As amazing as you can get the graphics or sound, as cheap as the games are, and as good as the mod support is, I still think PC Gaming is inferior to console gaming simply because on a console you don't have to install it, don't have to make sure you have all the right things to play it, and (most of the time) you know a new game will work just by putting it in, and pressing ON.

In other news though the new laptop is great, I do love the look of Windows 7 and everything is definately faster. Also Fallout 3 does look great, at least the Vault does, the only part of the game I have seen yet...
