Game unplayable due to constant freezing

[Titanium Jesus]

Brand new rig, i7 7700, (gb DDR4 (yes I know it's low but Japan doesn' sell machines with more than that without being willing to wait 6 weeks)) W10 home, GTx 1070.

NOT MODDED, completely fresh install and verified several times. Can't play for more than a few minutes before it completely, and unrecoverably, freezes. About half the time completely locking my computer up and leaving me hard booting it. Checking things while it is running it never breaks 77% RAM use or 15% CPU.

You guys got ideas?

9GB Ram, got it. :)

Any chance you're trying to run the game off integrated graphics on that new pc?

Go to Help at the top of your Steam window, then System Information. Copy and paste the results here.

You could try redoing the .ini files. Go to Documents/My Games/Fallout 4. Then delete the Fallout4.ini and the Fallout4Prefs.ini. Do not delete the Fallout4Custom.ini. After that verify the game files again and launch the game from your Steam library. That will create new .ini's and might fix the problem.

Right, copy pasting that for like the 5th time in a week. and no, it' not using integrated. I'll try the ini thing tomoroow when I've got mo\re than 300 minutes to ♥♥♥♥ around trying to fix things that should never be an issue. (new machine, loads of problems).

OK, your 1070 is set as your dedicated GPU. I do suggest you do a clean install of updated drivers for your GPU. That alone might fix it.

Go ahead and try redoing the .ini's.

Edit; Only because it's a laptop, try lowering your resolution a bit and or try playing in Borderless Windowed mode.

If nothing else works, your refresh rate is set to 120hrz. Try lowering it to 60hrz

That I don't know how to do. I don't even know why its set for that this is a 60H screen.

Open your Nvidia control panel by right clicking on your desktop and choose NVIDIA control panel. Then go to "Display", "Change Resolution". In the drop down menu change your refresh rate to 60hrz.

I hope something there helps. I have to go. Wife's up and I got chores to do. Good luck.

There is no "display" tab, dropdown, or other menu in nvidia control panel anywhere.

Found an area for the hertz setting on intell graphics whatever, hoever the dropdown only has 120 and nothing else.

Google says it's 120hz ?

[Titanium Jesus]

I don't know about google, but the sales rep and box say this is a 60 with 120 being optional. Could be a mistake on packaging but I doubt it. Even if it is it looks like I'm returning this machine this weekend anyway. Loads of problems like hang ups and freezing everywhere. It can't even browse it's own practically empty hard drive without hanging up for a second or 9.

Is the vsync on or off ? Have you tried changing vsync to adaptive ?
