Freezing / BSOD playing Mass Effect 3
Hi!
I've been tearing my hair out about this! Official support and the game forums have turned up nothing useful - but then I remembered how useful you guys have been in the past!
So I downloaded the Mass Effect 3 N7 Digital Deluxe Edition through Origin. Everything seemed to install correctly. I booted up the game, started a new game and the opening cinematic began. However, about half-way through this, at roughly the same time each time, the image freezes then blacks out. The sound continues for a bit longer before also freezing. Sometimes there is a repetitive hum and other times a complete BSOD; either way the system is frozen and no amount of Ctrl-Alt-Del helps.
Basic information
Windows 7 64-bit
Pretty sure it is the original installed OS, OEM version
About 3 years old
Crash files and system health goodies attached!
You will have my eternal gratitude if you can do anything to help; I was really looking forward to playing the game!
