Overview
This a collection of specific common problems and solutions, along with a general checklist of things known to contribute to problems, collected from around the web. The 'Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting' thread in the 'Fallout New Vegas Mod Troubleshooting' forum is for questions, suggestions, and discussion of this article's contents.
The article is organized around various generic topics, with specific mod conflicts or issues that don't fit into the other categories under 'Solutions to Miscellaneous problems'.
If you haven't already, it is suggested to read the wiki article FNV General Mod Use Advice first to understand basic terminology as used here and differences in FNV from other games you may be used to modding.
Troubleshooting is a logical process of elimination. If all logic fails, you have to revert back to a vanilla game and slowly re-install mods, testing each one thoroughly before adding the next. It is a trade-off of 'time' versus 'effort'. Where that tipping point lies is up to you. This is why you are always advised to follow a slow 'install and test each mod one at a time' procedure when first setting up your game. Then you know specifically which mod is causing your problem, which saves time.
The How to ask for help wiki article applies to any game. Read it before posting your next problem in the forums to speed up getting to the correct solution. The time you are wasting otherwise is not just your own.
Checklist
Standard list of things to ask yourself about your current FNV problem:
00. Did you install Steam under the default location of the 'C:Program Files' tree? This causes many 'strange' problems not otherwise explainable. As painful as it may sound, read the wiki article Installing Games on Windows Vista+ and move at least FNV. That article has a link to the official Steam Procedure (a good indication that they now recognize the need to correct this). This should be the first solution you try. Otherwise you will spend a lot of time and effort trying other solutions, and still have to move the game files in the end anyway.
01. Are you getting an error message? What is that pointing to as the source of the problem: the game, Steam, or Windows?
02. What most recently changed (as far as what you have deliberately done to your game is concerned: New, updated, or removed mods or plugins)?
02b. Did any of the following which interact with the game get updated or changed recently. They are prime suspects if nothing in the game itself changed:
03. If you have recently 'verified local files' or 're-installed' the game, try renaming both the INI files in the 'C:Users<YourAccountName>DocumentsMy GamesFalloutNV' folder, and let the game rebuild them. (There might have been some unexpected changes.) Rename to anything you choose. I usually just add to the extension: from '<filename>.ini' to '<filename>.ini.old'. The purpose is to be able to examine the old files for things you want to be able to replicate in the new versions of the same file.
04. Does the most recent mod change use New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE) or supplemental plugins like JIP NVSE Plugin or 'Lutana NVSE Plugin'? Check that log (in the game's root folder: i.e. '<Steam install path>steamappscommonFallout New Vegas').

Hi. I got really annoying problem of freezing on loading screen. Sometimes when i fast travel, get out or get in location, my loading screen is stuck with bugged music. Only i can do is ctrl alt delete and force to close the game, and losing a bit of progress. Keep that in mind that im not talking about infinite loading bug. Anybody ever got this bug, and how to fix it? Thanks for any help. My mods: New Vegas script extender, Wasteland clothing Hires retexture, NMCs_Texture_Pack_For_New_Vegas, New Vegas - Enhanced Camera, EVE - Essential Visual Enhancements, NVAC - New Vegas Anti Crash

Don't expect this game to work flawlessly, especially with mods. You can try to disable autosave. It can lower the frequency of crashes.

I have Fallout New vegas on Steam and just ran into this, a solution there was to try and load a game instead of just hitting continue, failing that, start a new game then load your save.
