how often did/does Fallout New Vegas crash or/and freeze on you

It's crashed a few times, but less than Fallout 3 did. And only after I installed a ton of mods, a few of which can make the game less stable. So yeah, before mods it crashed maybe 3 times in around 60 hours.
Depends on which version you're talking about.
Initially, for some reason I still can't remember, I bought New Vegas for my PS3. At one point that crashed every 20 minutes or so, bugs and glitches all over the place. Made me absolutely despise the game.
But then I got it for the PC during a Steam sale, including all DLC up until that point, and I don't think it ever crashed there. Really fell in love with it as well also thanks to the excellent expansion packs. I so do love Old World Blues and the Fallout 1-ish tribal atmosphere of Honest Hearts.
Fallout 3 had some hiccups but not that much worth mentioning.

New Vegas only ever crashed on me three times. It was during one playthrough, when I tried to enter Camp McCarran's terminal through the front door.
I tried the back door, did my business, then tried the front door again a few times to discover that the bug had vanished.
Other than that, it was remarkably stable. I don't even remember any graphics glitches.

As someone who play's on 360 with it installed and current character is clocking in 120hr's it doesn't freeze on me too much. i personally limit my number of saves to 6 and have at always more than gig on my HD,also i notice the more i play it the xbox seems to get used to it and freezes even less.
It likes to crash in bursts, but usually about once or twice a session. Of course, I've modded it all to hell too, so that's not helping
For me, on PS3, it tends to freeze or become unplayably laggy an average of about 30 minutes after starting it up, although that can change if I'm playing through any of the DLC. Lag and freezing tends to be significantly more frequent in the outdoor areas of the Old World Blues and Lonesome Road DLCs (usually about 10 minutes of being outdoors does the trick), while Honest Hearts and Dead Money are actually downright stable. Certain areas of the vanilla game are also really bad offenders when it comes to performance, namely the Hidden Valley bunker, the Strip, and the Strip casinos. So it's pretty much an unplayable mess for me, which is a real shame since it's also one of the best games ever made.
If I can get it to actually get as far as loading my game, which can be two or three tries, it's ok. It may crash after a few hours, but that's once in a blue moon. Vanilla PC.
Have you tried exiting other programs before you start playing? Mine got a lot more stable once it wasn't fighting unnecessary programs for system resources. Fuck you iplayer.

Only crashed once as I recall, but I got insane amounts of lag at least once every half hour after I had played for a bit - just like with Skyrim.

Well, NV managed to crash enough to ultimately break my PS3, so I'm not sure how much more it would have done had I ever played it to the end.
