This would be better helped in the Software issues subforum but http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1214935 worked for me when I had these issues, and now it's almost completely stable. Hopefully the ini tweaks should do the trick for your problem.

This should work... Worked for me and several other users.

Follow the instructions:

"Open up the fallout.ini file (backup the file as a precaution)

Find the line:

bUseThreadedAI=0

change it to:

bUseThreadedAI=1

Add another line after it and insert:

iNumHWThreads=2

This will limit the game to 2 cores and prevent the engine bug from causing the game to freeze.

Works like a charm for me, not had a single crash since." from http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1142893
