Forum:Freezes -or- shutter sound from very start wont go away

I have FO:NV for PC. When I start the game it freeze as soon as the basthesda logo, but if i play with the setting and change the resolution i can get it to not freeze right there. I'm alright with having to mess with it but when i get it to run a sound which resembles a shutter of a camera or the sound of a old time movie reel starts and will not go away for the entire time i play. The regular game sounds play but the sound will not go away. Anyone have any suggestions..I'll post my pc specs
