At first I'd like to say that I've been going through a lot of the forum pists here during the past few days, by googling and them being the search results and using the search feature here. I have not found a solution even if the issue seems to be quite common, well, at least the crashing part.
I am trying to write this with the instructions found in the 'READ FIRST' thread. I apologize for possible language.. weirdness, english isn't my main language.

I'm positive I have the original version which I bought via Steam. Patch is 1.05.
Now I have no idea how (oh look, a guide and pictures, thanks) to find my specs, but I'll do my best...
AMD Phenom 8650 Triple-Core Processor 2.30 GHz
RAM 8,00 Gt
NVIDIA GeForce GT 130, driver 295.73
Realtek High Definition Audio

I have Windows Vista Home Premiun and 64-bit.
No mods.

As you might have already guessed, my problem is crashing. There doesn't seem to be any kind of pattern to it (for example, crash when taking a screenshot), it just crashes. Sometimes the crash might occur after five minutes of playing, sometimes I can play for an hour without any problems.
The crashing started when I few days ago decided to buy Witch Hunt, Warden's Keep and Return to Ostagar and installed them. The install was succesful, I had no problems with it.
What confuses me the most is that few years ago, when I first bought this game it worked perfectly well on this very same computer. As far as I know, not much has changed when it comes to my specs - I think the display adapter was changed once but it is supposed to be better now.
Dragon Age: Origins is the only game I'm having problems with. Things like DA2, WoW and The Sims-series work fine.
For now I've tried to fix the crashing by lowering the graphic settings, turning automatic screenshots off and so forth, but it hasn't worked. Why 'so forth'? Because I simply don't remember what I've tried, I have some memory issues that have nothing to do with my computer I'll update if/when I remember. If I remember correctly the changes I've made were only to the online and graphics settings.

You may have been misled by nVIDIA's deceptive marketing. Their products were in flux at the time that the GT 200 generation was released, and at first, they were slow to release any middle or low end based on that architecture (the GT 220, 230, and GT 240). They had already been forced to recycle the Geforce 8n00 series when the GT 200s were late to market, and the 9500 GT was in fact an 8600 GT with a new name.

Your GT 130 apparently is just a 9500 GT with still another rename of the same 2007 technology, so for all we can tell, it was a DOWN-grade from what you had before. Anyway, for the most part, newer Geforce drivers are not as efficient when used on the older cards, such as the 8n00, 9n00, and GT1n0 cards.

(And yes, even the low end GT 200s occasionally have problems with newer Geforce drivers, but not nearly as often as the 8n00s (and older) do, so you should be suspicious of new drivers every time.) 

Try rolling back to older drivers, a step at a time, to find one that is more stable.  (I don't know that the one suggested -- next, below -- will actually work for you.)

@Shan;

I'm having good results with my GT240 (DX10.1) card with nVidia's Oct 2011 driver:
