New Player - Random crashes in Fallout 3: NV (and Oblivion)

Post » Sat Dec 10, 2011 3:21 pm

Greetings!

So I got a new smokin' machine, and figured I would go back and enjoy Fallout New Vegas and Oblivion with maxed graphics settings. I have only played them on the XBOX previously. The games run great, graphics look great, no real gameplay problems. However about once a day they will just crash. I don't seem to be doing anything in particular in Oblivion, and in Fallout New Vegas it almost always is associated with a autosave event (corrupting the save in the process - yea). I haven't noticed any other problems with the machine, but don't know if there is something I should be diagnosising or if its just expected. I know that as an ex-MMO player WoW didn't crash on my after 3 years of heavy playing on a much weaker machine! :-)

So... any thoughts? Anything I can change, monitor, or adjust? Its not the end of the world, but just feels awkward with a brand new machine! Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,
The Zen Crane

P.S. I am running the Steam version of each game if that helps.
