phoneyLogic Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Would first try to disable some background programs. What is with your patch version and all drivers are uptodate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf616 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 background programs are usually disabled, and i got the patch that was 'the latest' about a month ago :Pand yes. all drivers are up to date but i should just buy a new graphics but graphics and all that are fine for this game.

phoneyLogic Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hmmm, do you use mods or do you have a clocked gpu/cpu/ram or sth?What's your OS? More information increases the chances that someone can tell you a fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf616 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 clocked cpu and i think ram aswell. Operating System is Windows XP. when it comes to Commit Charges, the limit being 4million+the most ive ever seen FO3 use is 700k.And for the CPU to crash or overload is near impossible, FO3 would have to spike the usage by 52% which doesnt seem right when all i want to do is enter a building. and when it comes to load order-if the mods im using are doing it-theres only 26mods-INCLUDING esm's being-FO3.esm, Enhanced Weather, Tau Ammo.

It's not just about heating or loads, it is about timings too. Without testing with the defaults one will be only misguided into searching for troubles at the wrong places.

If the problem started post modding it could also be mod compatibility issues. Downloading the right modcomp patches and making use of F3Edit can be enough to fix randomly timed crashes. Especially if this is the only game you have issues with. If its not a hardware issue id look toward addressing this issue, see if it changes behavior. Hope this helps.
