constant random crashes

hi i am at my wits end (not a long journey)

 

 

PLEASE PLEASE help me...pretty please. I simply have no idea what to do.

i only have the needed iws files checked

 

i am using FOMM.

 

my game crashes usually within 5 minutes of me starting, generally sooner and there seems to be no common cause it can happen when fighting, going through doors, talking or just walking..

 

i completely unistalled FNV and started a new game after reinstalling and still the same problem, i am using the latest patch and all 3 DLC's. I have tried removing mods and still get the same problem.

 

ANY advice would be very much appreciated, i really have no idea what to do, it is soo frustrating!

 

(a hopeful) thanks in advance.

iws-as-highspawns.esp

iws-as-medspawns.esp

iws-as-lowspawns.esp

 

Try choosing only ONE of those.

iws-as-lowspawns.esp

 

Just overrides the others, so it's not causing any issues, certianly not crashing.

Thanks iansaltman and GrindStone.

 

i initially had chosen only iws highspawns then thinking it may be an issue i changed to med spawns and have now removed all iws files all awop files and all momod files but am still gettin the crashes. funny thing was i played through the whole of OWB with all mods activated and the game did not crash once--whats up with that? it's not my system as it is a very high end machine. I just really am bamboozled and VERY frustrated.

 

thanks again.

Create a new character by starting a fresh new game, play an see if it crashes at all.

grindedstone, have started several new games including two from complete game reinstalls but still get very frequent CTD's and freezes. Thanks for the thought.

Quad core used to cause screen freeze, u got a quad core?

[GrindedStone]

Well anyway, if you have a quad core, you can limit the core usage via the task manager afinity for the FNV process. 2 instead of 4

Also you can add a line in the .ini from what the tweekguide says about quad core at the bottom

 

Vista/Win7 get's a little section on steam support FAQ, you should check that out.

Also run as the admin of the computer in compatiblity mode for windows XP 32 SP3.

Then another fella used Msconfig to disable the tons of non-microsoft background services they had running.

Maybe installing steam outside of program files (not a big deal) there isn't much else about vista/win7 I know

[maboru]

That's not necessarily a problem. I run all eight threads with my quad core with no problem. The easiest way to experiment is by using Configator - http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40442 - and if you are running 64 bit try launching with - http://nvse.silverlock.org/beta/fnv4gb_nvse.zip

He/She say it's crashing an freezing but didn't crash or freeze all the way thru the OWB DLC an it's doing it on new game start ups as well on 2-3 installs.
