Fallout: New Vegas Keeps Crashing

[Fishehh]

So, title says it all, I play for about 5 minutes then it crashes. Any help and/or suggestions to get it to stop?

Computer Specs (If needed)

I realize the game is buggy but have you tried updating *ALL* your drivers. I mean system drivers, directx drivers, graphics drivers? Also have you tried completely removing the game, cleaning any traces of it off your pc and reinstalling it? (sometimes a file gets goofed up on installation)

Update your drivers, and make sure you have the latest patch installed. That should fix the issue you have. If not, contact Bethesda for tech support.

What Jswift said.

Also: mentioning your OS in the specs tends to help a bit if you're seeking tech aid, though that's irrelevant to the good general advice already provided.
