From the FO3 launcher I had to adjust the resolution to match the resolution of my monitor as it was not detecting the correct resolution by default.I changed it to 1920 x 1080 and presto!
1) doing this fix
2) remove the overlays in Windows Live and Steam by using the games for window live disabler. Side effect is that it removes steam overlays as well, but what can you do.
3) The 4 gb patch, that unlocks the ram capabilities for the game.
4) Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service pack 3 (play around with this, it should work with xp service packs through vista service packs) and run the exe as administrator.
5) If you're running Intel Graphics, the Intel graphics bypass package should be applied.
6) Add the Fallout Script Extender (FOSE)
If one of these steps makes the game work for you, then good. Add each of the steps one at a time, and try to launch it again to find the best workaround for you. Also the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch works well to prevent crashes once you've started a game, the above tips are just for crashing on the menu/new game.
i would say always crashes after playing 15-25 minutes
