I've been having a problem with Dragon Origins crashing after about 5 mins of gameplay with the error message "Dragon Age Origins has stopped working." I'm running a retail disc version of DA:O.  I've been getting the same error with the Steam version of Mass Effect FYI.

OS: Windows Ultimate 7 64bit

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000 3.0 Ghz

VIdeo Card: Radeon HD 4600 driver version 8.892.0.0

RAM : 4G

Previous steps: Reinstalled game/drivers/windows, ran as admin, ran in compatibility mode, turned of all extraneous programs, lowered UAC.

Two separate games with different engines having problems makes me think it is your system having an issue rather than the games.

Questions would be Temperatures of your rigs components, Speedfan(available over at Cnet.com) to monitor GPU and CPU temps.
Bring up reliability manager, search Reliability, on your machine and see what is crashing, it will probably just say the game, but it may have other info to lead in a direction ie audio or video.
What does the screen do when it crashes?? colors, to desktop, shut down the entire machine, etc??
Are the programs updated fully?? I am pretty sure the ME game is since it is on steam, but do check and make sure.

I updated DA:O to 1.04 so I should be good there ME is updated as well. Speed fan says my temp is 149 F.

Also of note. It seems to run starcraft 2 and city of heroes just fine.

What is 149 F??  You should have temps for Graphics ie GPU, maybe box just internal temps, Main chip ie CPU and maybe multiple cores, plus sometimes memory of the system or GPU memory temps.  So are you saying your GPU is running 149 F or 65C or are you saying your CPU is??

Are you overclocking anything??

[DarkLordMalis]

149 degrees Fahrenheit is the core temp displayed and I'm not overclocking anything.

[mcsupersport]

What is the Graphics chip temp, and what does the reliability manager say about the crash??

[sami jo]

That temp for anything on your rig is awfully hot. Your system is at the very low end of the minimums if not below for this game and it is pretty hard on hardware when you are above the recommended. The second potential issue is your graphics driver. ME doesn't play well with the newest generation of graphics drivers and DAO has had issues with some of them.

[DarkLordMalis]

Do you have a recommendation on a driver that works well?

[sami jo]

ME has been more sensitive than DAO, so I would check those forums first. I don't run an AMD card, so I'm not as familiar with their drivers. I would get good readings on your CPU and GPU temperatures first. Overheating can quite literally destroy your hardware.

I have a bug, every time I enter a battle in the ruined temple my journal opens and wont close, the computer then crashes. I downloaded the game. I am running a new mac power book.

Read the Sticky that starts with "Read First" and do what it tells you.

Updated to 1.04 and it just crashed again... Wonder if I can bind F5 to 'Space Bar'...still a great game though.
