Had to recently get a new laptop to replace my old one that is best described as being on death row and eagerly looked forward to seeing how Mass Effect 3 would run on the newer (and much more powerful) machine. Except everything went horribly wrong.

I have the infamous black face glitch when it comes to importing my ME2 Shepard but it occurs when I try to customise his appearance and in-game, it happens to minor characters such as the random Alliance officials and the defence committee in the intro. It managed to fix itself in one running that let had let me make a new Shepard from scratch and I managed to get as far as Mars until the black face glitch kicked back in. The game crashes constantly for example, when I try to change Shepherd's class to a vanguard, try to customise his appearance, upgrade my squad, use a squadmate's powers, change weapon, put something on the weapon bench, reunite with Liara or fight Cerberus. Every instance of those the game freezes, a "Mass Effect 3 is no longer working properly" sign pops up and the screen goes black until I manually force the game to close, it's utterly game breaking. 

Have done all the usual things like update drivers, keeping the game up to date via Origin, repair installs etc but nothing seems to be working!

Specs for this PC: HP Pavilion DV7-6C09TX
Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM • 2.2 GHz (Quad Core)
8GB Ram

ATI Radeon HD 7690M (2 GB GDDR5 dedicated)
Blu Ray Drive
Windows 7 64 Bit

Fearing it is the game that horrifically buggy (not the super new laptop that's the problem) I tested it out on a weaker laptop that only just meets recommended specs and to my utter astonishment I find that it doesn't crash or have the face issues that plagued my newer laptop.

Specs for this PC: Toshiba A500-02u

Any particular reason why a higher spec has such difficulty yet a lower one runs it perfectly adequately? For anyone who says "just play it on the laptop that works!" should note that the reason I needed to upgrade was the fact that the wiring in the motherboard is faulty so it becomes a Herculean task for it to recognise an AC input (+ the battery has a weeks worth of life left before it completely dies) Have other people had issues like these? Is this something that's being fixed in Bioware's incoming patch?

have you tried disabling speedstep and any power saving features?

Yes, have tried those things but no luck, thanks anyway.

There are countless of reasons to choose a PC above a console. But with PC I mean a desktop PC. Choosing a laptop above such a PC and console and expecting it to run games like ME3 without glitches is beyond me.

That doesn't help you at all, but I can only expect that people reading this know all to well where I'm coming from.

My newest computer is a laptop and I have a desktop as well. But my old laptop is three years old, and my tower hasn't hit two years yet even if it's weak to a lot of games. A laptop is a very reliable machine for games, given the right specs now with Mass Effect 3 there are a lot of glitches and issues- once these have been solved, then a laptop becomes to blame, my old laptop would run games without screwing up the image that my tower does.

The game seems to have been programmed to deal with its recommended specs and people have been have an issue with anything above that- for what reason I can't fathom.
