bethesda's games are known for being buggy but the specifics of what's happening are confusing to me.
i played the game for ~10 hours with zero issues, then encountered them nonstop. that i played for 10 hours with no issues makes me think it couldn't be say, power supply or a heat issue.
but here's where it gets more complicated.
when it freezes, the screen turns off-white. if i control alt delete, sometimes i can close fallout from the task manager and it's fine. othertimes, it locks the whole system up. the strange thing, though, is that when that happens and it comes back up... a lot of my USB devices are listed as not functioning. unplugging them then plugging them back in fixes it.
is this some sort of indication it's actually a hardware issue?
