uhm... well... more info please?
literally, all you told is is that the game keeps locking up, that could be anything from a certain lacking in the hardware department, to having a virus eating your system resources.

My game kept locking up (on the 360) after I created the weapon called "The Railway Rifle". Every time I used it for long periods of time, like 5 minutes, the game would lock up.

I didn't really do anything to fix it other than not play the game for like a week. I went back on and got through the rest of the game without that problem...

I dunno if that helps cuz I dunno if you had the same problem as I did.

NEI (not enough information)

I had the same problem, I also noticed with that gun if I re-booted all the heads were magically floating in the air, seems like a HUGE bug to me.

Anyway, that may be your problem if you use that gun too often.

FOR WHAT?!

I'm going to guess Fallout 3(PC), but it would be VERY helpful if we knew which version you have!

I fixed mine by playing in windowed mode. I don't know why but it just runs smoother that way.

There is your problem. Bethesda are known for releasing games on PC that are crippled. If you have a console try that. If not then wait for the inevitable slew of patches.

Wait for the patches, be it by Bethesda or community. There are a lot of people with problems out there, and it's definitely not all down to having a crappy computer / software.

The *only* person I know who has this run on PC without crippling bugs is running a 3rd party patch made by some pirate. My friend has an absolutely top of the line computer with all compatible video cards and junk, and he can't play it for more than about 20 minutes without it crashing. I'd say 'let's complain loudly until it gets fixed' but come on, let's be realistic.

Trust me, I am sick of all these new members thinking they're too good to use capitals.
