I think your game just crashed. Press ctrl+alt+del and open task manager - you should be able to terminate dead process. To get rid of horrible sound you need to disable and then re-enable your soundcard in device manager or just reboot your PC.

I know that the game crashed, but when it did, it locked everything up, I could not ctrl+alt+del, alt+tab, anything, I have to reboot my computer by turning it off then back on.
Like I said, it locks the computer up.

sounds like you need to put the game cartridge back in after blowing it... if that doesn't work it needs to be cleaned with cartridge solution and a nice cotton ball wisk.

Got that once

If the sound you're hearing is a small fragment of sound infinitely repeated, then you probably got something like a bsod. Anyway, it sounds like ME3 is crashing your Windows, in which case the only thing I would think, you can do, is to tinker around with your graphics settings, and of course always have the latest drivers installed

you do realise games havent used cartridges since the n64 stopped being manufactured. also i wasent aware that mass effect needed a cd in the drive to run.
this sounds like the infamous Nvidia memory leak dont know why but unreal based games can cause issues with nvidia chipsets. well more notably the 8XXX series.
also i suggest running the game in windowed borderless mode. even if the game KO's completely you should still be able to get back to your desktop.
even if you cant see or access your desktop try this little trick
press the windows key wait a second than press windows+r even if nothing comes up try typing
"taskkill /f /im masseffect3.exe" than press enter
if your lucky the windows command parser is still working and you can forcibly terminate the locked up game
btw i have confirmed this bug in
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 3
Global Agenda
Unreal Tournament 4 Black Eddition
And youll never guess what all these games have in common .
They are all based on the Unreal Engine

Recently on multiplayer, there's been an electronic buzzing every time I'm in a match. I haven't played in the last couple of days. But the noise is irritating.
Are you playing with the Drell Adept or Asari Justicar? lolololol I'm kidding.... or am I?
