Okay so i just built a new computer and im having problems with freezing at first i thought it was because it was a quad core so i limited the amount of cores it can use to 2 ile put my specs and see if anyone can figure why because its got me beat and im using GOTY with latest patch.

 

NVIDIA Geforce GT 240 1gb

i3-530 2.9GHZ quad core

2gb ram

Windows 7 home premium 64-bit

 

any clues as to why its constantly freezing?

Okay, I think I know what it is.

 

Although your quad-core runs things nicely, Fallout 3 is programmed to use as much space as it can. On smaller computers it's pagefile usage is smaller; on a beast like yours it'll be massive.

 

In combat, a lot of stuff happens - and when you load an interior cell, a lot of stuff is loaded up - and so the game turns itself inside out. Try running this mod here and see if that helps. It shouldn't impact your system too much.

 

All it does is periodically run the console command "pcb" which clears out the cache. I've found that my screen freezes up when a crapload of stuff happens at once and pcb tends to fix that, so give it a shot.
