To get past the New Game crash edit Documents/My Games/FALLOUT.INI and set 
bUseFaceGenHeads=0

You'll be able to see the intro movie, your birth, customize your character 
and take your first steps. All characters won't have any heads and the game 
is very likely to crash soon after that.

The reason that Fallout3 crashes when starting a new game is that some of 
the shader effects added require SM 2.0 B or higher. 
Oblivion only required SM 2.0. Windows users with Radeon 9x00 cards or 
Intel 965 chipsets have similar crashes.

There's an effort over at http://www.oldblivion.com/sm/index.php?topic=5831.0 
to rewrite Fallouts shader effects to SM 2.0, much in the same way as was 
done with OldOblivion.
