I have recently got a new laptop. It has pretty good specs (16gb of RAM, I7-4500U, NVidia GT 750M). Whenever I begin to play "Fallout new vegas", the game freezes/crashes saying "Out of memory". FNV is only using 1.3gb, how can I possibly be out of memory?

Yes, the mods could certainly contribute to your issues.

Try removing them and the game itself. Start with a fresh install of the game and see if the system remains stable. Then add the mods one at a time, testing for stability after each to determine the culprit.

Painful, but worth a shot.

I lowered it to low and i still crashes. My game is as patched as can be at the moment. I also have quite a few mods, could that be causing the problem?
