Fallout 3 random freezing

im having a problem playing fallout 3, it will randomly freeze, sometimes i can get a good couple hourse b4 if freezes but sometimes it will freeze after like 15mins. this is the only game ive got a problem with.

specs, quadcore (dont know model, think its the lowest version of quads), 6gig ram, nvidida 9600 512mb.

I am getting the same thing. Random freezes which causes the game to stop responding. And i have a Intel Quad core 3.0, 8-Gigs of RAM, G-Force 280 (NVIDIA) and Windows Vista.

The game runs with no effort whatsoever is just after a while it will permanently freeze and I have to go into the task bar manager to end its task. I have looked everywhere for a solution to this problem and have not found one.

Can anyone point me on the right direction?

If you have it enabled... turn off LIVE!

That POS caused me all kinds of issues that I thought was the game.

Old topic, but how do you turn off 2 of the cores?shade3134
