First of all Thanks to the entire Nexus Community You all are awsome and together we are all Great

 

first of all let me get some system specs out of the way

 

Phenom x4 2.5Ghz

Stock Dell Inspiron 546 Mobo

HIS HD 7770 1Gb

3Gb DDR2 6400

7200rpm SATA HDD's

Win 7 sp1 with catalyst 13.9

 

im currently trying to get my GOTY edittion of Fallout 3 to run neither iNumHWThreads=2 or bUseThreadedAI=1 has any effect

i had to run windowed 800x600 just to get past the character creation screen/tutorial without a CTD then once out of the vault i cant walk/run more than about 200 feet without a CTD

 

Ive installed the last 5 video drivers for the HD 7770 no luck

my last solution would be to downgrade to a copy of Vista Ultimate/Home Premium hoping its a chipset driver issue or somthing

Ive even attempted to install all the vista drivers under Windows 7 wich had no impact on performance

i was using catalyst 13.9 (latest driver that will install for this card under windows 7 catalyst 14+ anything wont install on my HD 7770 for me at all even after clean installs of windows

The latest is 14.6 for 7900 series. Are you using any mods?

If I was you I would first make sure that my GPU drivers were installed correctly.

 

Search google for 'Display Driver Uninstaller.exe' - run the program in safe mode.

Download the latest ATI catalyst drivers for 7900 series and install.

 

Then follow this guide. I find it very useful: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Fallout_3

If its a multicore issue I found a fix that's worked for me so far- manually disabling multiple cores via windows- I posted specifics in another post in this forum or just google disabling cores in windows. Give it a try and see if it works- if it does post about it to help confirm this fix is for real. (I was having similar constant crashes)
