As soon as I activate the doors which cause the Geth ship to fall off the building on Feros, the cinematic freezes, always around the same few seconds. I can hear the audio keep playing, but I lose all control. CtrlAltDel won't even respond. My only option is to force shutdown my computer. This has happened over 5 times.
Is there a way to just turn off or skip cinematics?
I've already downloaded patch 1.02
I'm playing on the PC, using Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
Intel HD graphics card.
4 GB RAM
Feros cinematic crash (spoilers)

Also, if I play it in windowed mode, the cinematic seems to get a few seconds further before freezing. Then when I try to shut it off from the task manager, it won't. The window will disappear, but the application will still be running.

That sounds like a corrupt install could have been your problem. tcarts, same for you: I'd recommend re-installing (or verifying the game cache if it's on Steam).

That could also have been your problem. Intel graphics aren't supported.

I don't know if you still have that problem.
I've got it too recently (yes, I've been playing ME games only recently), I've googled, I've found no issue, but I've found one by myself. Already published the issue in a french version.
So I've got the same problem as you, and the answer that Intel HD cards are not supported is invaled.
I've finished ME1 and 2 with an intel HD card, and I can play ME3 with it.
The only game which one I've got a problem is ME1. At two times : Feros and in the Citadel lift.
When the cinematic start, just press the windows key to go back to windows (yeah). Wait a little then go back to the game. On Feros, you arrived during a talk between Joker and Shepard. Answer, then the game freeze (again). No worry, restart the computer, continue the game and ... miracle, the game was saved just before the crash, so you can keep on.
For the lift citadel, no dialogue, no restarting necessary.
Hope it would help you, and sorry for the english.

Crumbubble, your English is one heck of a lot better than my French. I was in a minor panic until I saw this post.
Your fix worked perfectly on my system, although I never had a crash problem in the Citadel lift. I can also attest that the Intel HD card works perfectly fine with ME1 otherwise; aside from the crash during the Feros cutscene the entire game ran without a hitch and I've had no issues running ME2 to date.

Same as anyone running cheap hardware, its already compromised useful lifetime will be shorter still because of the totally inadequate cooling and totally over the top overheating from forcing a junk chip to do something it was never designed to handle.

That can happen with some systems, but in my opinion it's less the chip than how it's put together. My old HP Pavilion was a kludge internally; the nVIDIA card in it started cooking the innards after about four years. That model just overheated too easily and the GPU was parked right on top of the wireless card, which got warped. So far I've run through ME1 in its entirety and most of ME2 on my Toshiba Satellite and I've just had the Feros glitch with ME1 and one or two combat crashes in ME2.
