fallout 3 for PC keeps crashing..?

im running fallout 3 on my vista 64 bit PC and i cant get more than 5 minutes into playing and the game crashes. display completely freezes but the person talking keeps going? i listened to it for 10 minutes and you could still hear what was supposed to be there? i know my computer can easily handle this game so that isnt it.. wtf????????????? useless game for PC?

Update:

Its not my computer. lmao. i can play FSX all day long (even though i have much better things to do rofl), WoW can play that like a boss 60 fps high settings, CSS, L4D, crysis on medium-high settings). amd phenom processor, 4gb ddr3 ram, nvidia 9800 gt 1gb ddr3, 450w black widow PSU.. and sorry, i will never follow a s****y trend and buy a POS MAC.. so good try

Update 2:

also, i am the only user of the computer and ive tried that, and i got the latest drivers earlier.... uninstalled/reinstalled the game like 4 times.. screw this game

    Try running the game as administrator and make sure your video card's drivers are fully updated. And don't get a Mac it can't run games :/

    Maybe. But to be sure, take a backup of your game saves and delete and re-install the game. If it´s not fixed, connect steam support (if you have the game on steam), if not, then good luck, i dont know anymore
