fallout 3 memory crashes

groudon185p · 12-16-2008, 05:31 AM

Hey guys, Recently I've been having troubles with fallout 3. whenever I start the game now I get an error with "This program has crashed while attempting to write [hex code] at [hex code] I think it's a memory leak But I'm not quite sure...

Specs:
CPU: Q6600 Stock cooling and stock frequencies.
Ram: 1.5GB 1x1gb 1x512mb
GPU: Nvidia 7600GS
PSU: A piece of cheese (500w)
Case: Antec 300.
Mobo: Asus P5VDC-MX R2.0 (complete with total abysmal performance)
and Vista ultimate 32bit

And it's not power I've been using this rig for about a year now (yes i know I'm desperately Out of date But I'm re-building soon :-D)

love your description of that generic psu you have there (piece of cheese)

have tried running the game as an administrator?

If that fails, try running Memtest86 for about 5 cycles, or let Prime95 run overnight to test both CPU and RAM for stability.

1). It's good to see people have a sense of humor :-D 2). I'll try that I do have a suspicion it is my ram but I hope not.
