Any ideas? It happens totally randomly. Maybe it's because I have many high quality textures?

No crashes at all, just freezes.

[WastelandLoner]

Have you tried the Large Address Aware Enabler by NMC? I used to experience random freezes as well and I think it was down to all the new textures packs I used.

After using this mod I have never had a single freeze.

Hope this helps.

[Matt714]

Yes, I already have this.

Too many plugins with HD textures. You need to reduce your load list.

Also, the FOOK 2 Hotfix should each go immediately below the file they are fixing.

[Matt714]

Doubt it's the number of mods, XP compatibility seems to have decreased their frequency by a lot.

 

The STEP guide has way more mods than I do, and it is reportedly rather stable.

Found the culprit, it's FOSE. I had applied the 4GB fix to it, as well than Fallout3.exe. You only need to apply it to the latter, otherwise it creates memory leaks.

[CarlCorey]

Interesting. I've been running with a 4GB patched fose_loader.exe for a while now and it's only once just frozen without a CTD. That was in the Old Olney S. Wilson Building with all the Tesla Coil things going on so I blamed it on graphics overload. How long of a session does it take for you for the freezes to start?

[Matt714]

Maybe 5-10 minutes? Depends of the place. Megaton for example is crash free.

 

I have many texture mods, though; and many background processes.

[Matt714]

Disregard everything I said, it's actually a VRAM issue. I had too many HD mods installed, coupled with mods. Even if I have a GTX 980.
