Fallout 3 Fix?
Fallout 3 is very 50/50 with how it's going to work on PC. I've had some bizarre scenarios in the past where Fallout 3 will not work on my system, but after reinstalling my OS(Windows 7), it works without any problems.
OP, I know you've stated that you've tried some fixes already so sorry if I do some repeating, but try these fixes if you haven't already.
1. Download and install FOSE: http://fose.silverlock.org/
2. Patch the executable to allow 4GB: http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php
3. Disable GFWL: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/1086/?
4. Try Archive Invalidated: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/944/?
5. Large Address Aware(similar to 4GB patch): http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/6510/?

For #4, a comment on the mod says;
OK finally solved. So for everyone with steam version of GOTY and w7.
Best way is to "install" it manually and then delete menus folder in data and it should work with no problem.
In the past 1, 2, and 4 with some ini tweaks and DLL's downloaded fixed Fallout 3 for me. I'd try each of these individually to see what works for you, but you might have to do multiple fixes for it to work.
Nowadays since I have both Fallout 3 GOTY and Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition on Steam, I install Tale of Two Wastelands which simply makes Fallout 3 run in the New Vegas engine and also allows you to travel between the Capital Wasteland and the Mojave Desert. Also since Fallout 3 is being run in the New Vegas engine means that I can use New Vegas mods. So whenever I have issues with crashing I also install;
1. 4GB Loader: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/35262/?
2. Stutter remover: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34832/?
3. NVAC: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/53635/?
Fallout 3 is very finicky, but it's so worth putting up with it as it's a great game. Best of luck!
