As soon as I press any key to get to the main menu it crashes so to speak and the game start up in Windowed mode. Retail disc version. My specs are:

Windows 7 Home Premium64-bit
Intel ® Core ™ i7CPU-860@2.80GHz
NVIDIA Geforce GT220 (don't know how much mem it has got)
DirectX 11
Free Space 810gb out of 921gb
Display 1920x1080-HP 2159 series wide lcd monitor

I can only play Dragon Age 2 on min settings till I eventually upgrade my system and I wasn't sure whether my problem was the same as the DirectX 11 due to my card being a low card
 
Sorry don't know where to get all my computer info. I gathered as much as I could from My Computer and the DirectX diog tool. 

Any help would be appreciated.

If you will actually read and the really follow through with the instructions in the pinned message that starts "Before anything else", then after you expand your report enough to give me somewhat of a handle to grab onto, then I'll try to see if I can help you.

(P. S. in new edit:  Yesterday, they were several too-impatient members who didn't want to cover all the bases.  My idea about how to formalize the procedure was received negatively.  That's why I was feeling impatient in my own turn.)

I have got the same problem myself:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit
Intel ® Core ™ 15 processor 750
Mem: 4GB DDR3
Storaage: 1TB
NVIDIA ® GeForce ® GT230 1.5GB
Free Space: 644 of 779


I have this problem with both the lowest settings and the highest settings. However my play always stops in the first cut scene in which the lady is being dragged and it focuses on the candle.

PLease help!

btw: what do you mean the pinned message before anything else?

Oh I see, I will be positive however this issue really is driving me over the edge.

Would a new graphics card help performance in any way?

The single most important part of a gaming PC is the graphics card, and the GT 230 is a Low End to Borderline Zone card, so if by "new", you mean a Geforce GTS450 and upward, yes (the 440s are so close to the same as what you have now, that there probably would be only a similarly small amount of improvement, too hard to recognize to be worth the time).

Also, if you werre to change to a Radeon in the medium class, such as an HD 5670, I am certain that you would be happy with it.

Just got my first crash just when I was about to kill the Ancient Wraith boss...! I got crashes on DAO too. Is it about my graphic card? I have GeForce GTX 260. Btw it doesn't support dx11 does it?

The Geforce GTX 260 was, and still is, a good card, originally sitting above the Mainline cards, at the lower end of "High End", it is now still equal to just about any medium card, but it does predate Dx11. You might want to review this, and fill out a problem report.

Oh I see, thanks but are you sure the Radeon would make more of a significant difference as opposed to a new Nvidia Geforce card?

At almost every price point, nVIDIA has ceased to compete on pricing with AMD, and thus their products cost more in frames per dollar, so if you want VALUE from the money you spend, you choose the Big Red. There are equivalent Radeons for almost every Geforce, although the just-released GTS 550 falls in a gap, where for ten dollars more, you can have an HD 6850 with a lot more performance, or  twenty dollars less, get an HD 5770 that's very close to as fast, and a better value.
