How do you prevent random freezing/CTD?

I'm playing the game on a laptop Windows 7 and it freezes or crashes to desktop randomly. Sometimes it happens within 5 minutes, sometimes after an hour, sometimes after 3 hours, or sometimes not freezing/crashing at all in a particular session. Basically it just happens if it wants to happen. I already did the ini trick and have installed the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch from this website. I'm starting to wonder if the problem lies in my laptop. I have a Lenovo Z585 with AMD A10-4600M, AMD Radeon HD 7660G, and 6GB of RAM. There are no mods added to my game. Only the DLC Broken Steel is installed. The game runs great. It's just frustrating that the freezing and crashing happens so random.

Turn Of all AA functions for fallout3 on the desktop application software built into the laptop, not the driver software, that laptop's device software for the display features ,also check both power settings for the battery features, it too will cause the game to stop.

Sorry, Purr4me, I'm not actually sure how to do that or where to find that.

A Fresh install means this, I had to completly remove all AMD driver assets using the tool they provided me on their web site, you get the remover tool first, make sure you back it up because it is self destructable type of software, in other words, not to be distributed.

 

then , you run their scanner on your system after wards, not before....do you understand?

 

If you run the scan before removing whats running, all you will get is what you have already. But if you run the scan and are lacking the correct or updated software, they will provide you with the correct updates for that piece of equipment.

 

Now once your to this pint. decide what to do. Knowing that you do not have any icons sitting in the tray means you do not have a fully updated machine.

So........

you can download the provided drivers as scanned results from there and you can attempt to get access to the drivers I posted in the screen shot.

Why? _rc drivers are for gamers, these are dev drivers, and they are meant specifically for windows systems. I my case, this system is 32bit. yours will be 63, but , you still will need a 32bit driver packages for any 32bit game.

 

later on, you will find out all about how and why's.

Would it be easier if I just turned off AA in the Fallout 3 launcher?
