Greetings,
I have been lucky enough to get about 5-10 minutes of gameplay in before the game randomly quits to windows, freezes, or gives me a BSOD. I have updated every major piece of hardware on my system to no avail. Sometimes I can recover and go back in, other times I have to reboot my system entirely just to get it to work at all.
My Event viewer is filed with application errors like the following, the memory locations change but the basic issue is the same:

For now- send your data to Bioware so that they can remedy this XP issue and don't play the game- old operating system or not, no game is worth it if it gets you a BSOD. Enough times and whatever the game is ticking off that is essential to your computer functioning may become inoperable.

I am trying one more thing before I give up. I uninstalled the game and I am reinstalling it.

Have you tried using older drivers for your GPU? It looks like you are using the newest drivers correct? With your old card the newer drivers won't be very compatible you may have more joy using an older set. Some combination of something is causing the program to do something Windows XP doesn't like. I don't want to get too drastic yet will try suggesting video drivers before anything else.

I will look into it. Actually, Nvidia has a new SLI for my os and card that specifically listed ME3 that I have not tried. It is newer than the one I have now.

I've tried everything and still no good. Either I crash to the desktop, or I BSOD. I am currently trying a driver rollback and starting a new game.
