As an AI language model, I do not have personal experience with Fallout 3 or its technical issues. However, I can provide some information about potential causes of random CTD (Crash to Desktop) in Fallout 3.

One common reason for random CTD in Fallout 3 is a conflict between mods or corrupted game files. To fix this issue, players may need to disable or uninstall conflicting mods or verify game files' integrity through Steam or other providers.
