    That happened to me for like two years, and then I tried to play it again last week and it works fine now so I've been playing it everyday. I have absolutely no idea what changed, but I know how frustrating that is. I hope it gets fixed!
    I hope that's not the case for my one, otherwise I would have to pay for delivery costs myself!

    Thanks

    Quick update.
    Overclockers have received my GPU today and the status on it is this:
    "This item is currently going through our testing procedure."

    Overclockers have completed their test and the item has been deemed to be faulty.
    They will be sending me a replacement free of charge.
    It's due to arrive on Tuesday/Wednesday.

    What a relief!

    My GPU arrived early
    All games have loaded up fine so far, but Fallout 3 just crashed as I brought up the Pipboy :nooo:
    Also crashes when I use VATS.
    I'm going to try and lower the game quality, hopefully that helps.

    I've been playing for an hour without problems now.
    After more research I found this fix since I have more than 2 quad cores.
    Apparently the game has issues running if you have more than 2 cores:
