I have found my Logitech G15 Keyboard has caused Mass Effect to
crash/slow down on my computer. With a different keyboard the game
worked fine.

Explanation:
I recently purchased Mass Effect via
Steam, installed it on my desktop computer (which has more than enough
power to run the game) and encountered the problem where the game would
slow down to a virtual halt, making the game unplayable. If I shifted to
Windowed mode, the game would still slow down, unless I shifted the
focus to another window, in which case the game would run in the
background normally, until I shifted focus back to Mass Effect, at which
time the game would slow down again.

I installed the game on my
older laptop, and Mass Effect ran perfectly OK. Then I decided to use my
Logitech G15 keyboard that is on my desktop computer with my laptop,
instead of the laptop keyboard. Straight away I encountered the same
problem with Mass Effect slowing down/crashing.

I changed the
keyboard on my main desktop computer to another keyboard (a Logitech New
Touch ergonomic keyboard), and the game now runs fine on my main
computer.

Conclusion: If you are having problems with Mass Effect
slowing down to a crawl, and it runs fine in the background when in
windowed mode, and you have a logitech G15 keyboard, try changing your
keyboard and you might fix the problem - it seems to be the G15 that is
causing the problem.
