Forum:Screen goes black but game continues

I have recently reinstalled Fallout 3 after having reformatted my computer but after a few minutes of gameplay, everything but the HUD and the Pip-Boy's screen goes black. I can hear that the game is still going on and the compass is still working when I rotate my character. It doesn't help to scroll out either. I have already put the graphics and visuals to a minimum but it didn't help.

I have installed patch 1.7 and all the DLCs and all my drivers are up to date. I run with following specifications:

Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 2GHz - Nvidia GeForce GO 7950 GTX 512 MB - 4 GB Ram - Vista 64-bit

There are no hardware malfunctions and it doesn't happen in other games.

Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, how did you fix it?
