Windows 7: BSOD everytime I run Dragon Age origins

Hey guys I'm stuck and I'm not sure what's causing this error!

Every time I play Dragon Age origins and I'm creating a character, I keep getting a BSOD with the following:



Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 18441

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 3b
BCP1: 00000000C0000005
BCP2: FFFFF96000152D0F
BCP3: FFFFF88009BE50D0
BCP4: 0000000000000000
OS Version: 6_1_7600
Service Pack: 0_0
Product: 768_1

Event Viewer tells me that the source is a bug check. I did some research online and I found out that it was related to my graphics card. But after reinstalling my display drivers it still gives me the dreaded BSOD. I don't know what to do. I overruled over clocking as a factor because i switched back to default settings and I still get the same error.

Attached is my mini dump for analysis. I'm really frustrated and I don't know how to solve this. I'll be grateful if someone could shed some light over this matter and help me resolve it.

You might want to consider the real possibility that the "Sandbox" driver is part of the problem:

If the same thing occurs with "sandbox" uninstalled, can you please attach another minidump.

sandbox driver? But I've never even installed any sandbox driver before and I'm not sure where to locate the driver

woah wait a moment could it be my firewall Outpost Pro by Agnitum?

No idea what app/utility the driver's from, but it's there on your machine and seemingly involved in the stack of the crashing thread. That doesn't prove it's the culprit, but it should be uninstalled temporarily (disabling is not good enough) so that you can gauge what happens without it.

Okay I uninstalled outpost pro from my system and it worked perfectly. Now i can enjoy dragon age peacefully.

Many thanks H2SO4!

No problem mate. I'm glad to hear that worked. The stack of the offending thread was partially smashed in the crash itself, so the debugging direction was somewhat of a long shot.

Everytime I play dragon age, it will force quit or BSOD. I had read that the multi-core cpu might be causing the issue, so tried changing affinity to everything from 4 cores to 1 with only a slight increase on time between BSODs. I also tried running the "TLB_disable" fix that seemed to work for Vista thinking it might work on Windows 7 as well. I have attached the minidump file with the hope that someone might be able to tell me what I am missing. Thanks in advance.
