You need the quad-core fix:

Open up the fallout.ini file in: My Documents\My Games\Fallout3
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/crash.

have you tried applying patches? or you have the latest drivers installed?

yes i have tried patches and everything ive been told its because of a setting that i need to disable. the AGP setting needs to be disabled but im not sure how to do that exactly.
