    Are you running ant special mods? Fallout 3 is a bit janky already and certain mods can increase the instability a lot. Otherwise I'd probably just hop over to the Official Fallout 3 forums. When I was up to my neck in F3 mods and trying to get the most out of my system, I went there was a lot of info in the tech section and general forum.

    I'm running the GFWL version, and no mods.
