sanscript: What are the specs on the computer? Old or new computer? Windows 7 or 10? Are you using mods?
Does this happens to other games?
Check temperatures.
Is the GPU getting enough power?
Check Windows Event Viewer for any error messages.
Try:
Shutdown any antivirus you may have.
Make sure you have up-to-date chipset and GPU drivers (Intel/Amd/NVIDIA).
Download, unpack and install (go to the directory you unpacked it to and install it):

Uninstall GOG Galaxy and Fallout 3. Download install Fallout 3 offline installers. Install to f.ex. C:\Witcher3.
Never install to any system folder like Program Files.

Bethesda's games are known to having problems, but it should run just fine most of the time.
