Are there issues today? The game keeps crashing every 30 minutes. Literally. on the button, every 30 mins.
When anything seems very clock-oriented, I always want to look at background processes, because it will be one of those doing worse than merely stealing focus. Various AV programs are the worst of all about it, but so are eMail and IM programs. Figure out which background process recently updated, and you'll have identified your culprit.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Windows Task Manager
Click on the Processes tab
Click on the Show processes from all users button, at the bottom
Click the Continue button for UAC prompt
Right click the process (application) whose processor affinity you want to change
Click Set Affinity
Check the CPU(s) that you want the process (application) to run on and click OK
I've set the CPU to 1 and am going to test that now.
I've had AVG v.9 since the game was installed and it's always been running, so don't know if that should be the problem and really don't want to turn off my AV just to play the game!
Would this be a huge security risk? Would the windows firewall be enough for protecting just to play?
The game crashed yesterday at 24 and 56 minutes past the hour for the whole day.
Also do you have to set the CPU every time you load the game or does the system remember once you have set it the 1st time?

PS: I used the free full install download (70somthing megs) not the web install, dont have the link sorry.
PPS: The game is not crashing just collapses to desktop(so will trying to play movies or any other game), this is a AVG nag telling you to update from 8.5 but without any message because you already have update.

Everyone call them. this is ridiculous, why make a game if you can't even keep it running? this is going to turn into another Fury situation.

When I click New Game, a blue screen and the pc off. What I have to do?
Preliminary diagnostic information
PCs are not *anything* at all like game console systems. There is almost nothing that is truly "standard" between various branded PCs, making the game developers' jobs very difficult, and resulting in warning labels attached to game boxes for those games that have serious requirements.
In case you have misunderstood how to evaluate your PC compared to that game box label, we have to start from here. Fill it all in.

it's stone prisoner that I've dowloaded, but now the game says it unauthorised.
The CD Key is displayed in my configuation utility.

EA has this awesome tab where it's YOUR questions. But unless they're very simple you're more screwed than Debbie in Dallas.

In searching the posts and FAQ's I didn't see anything addressing this. If it was already addressed please let me know.
Apprently every background choice will work except human noble.
The other strange thing which may or may not be related is that in every cut scene the voice over seems to be turned off. I can hear music and everything else, but none of the words. When in combat my character will audibly say the little quips that characters normally do.
I already have the xbox version, but really wanted to experience the play on the PC. I would rather not have to return the game.
Is there anyone that can please help? If this is somehow in the wrong area, pleas be kind enough to direct me to the correct place to post my problems.
- Thanks.

I'm having the same problems. i'm going to try the quick save now. Did you ever get your problem solved? Please share the fix if you got it.Gendao wrote...
Having an unusual problem, one I've not seen anyone say anything about that sound like exactly what my problem is. I'm running the PC version, on a PC with Windows XP SP3, Intel Core2Duo @ 2.83GHz, with an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT with 512 VRAM. I've only got 2 GB of RAM, but it should still run fine. Latest DirectX version.
The problem I'm having is with starting a new game. I load the game just fine, get into character creator just fine, and all of the sliders and bells and whistles work fine to create the character...but when I click "PLAY" and the loading screen gets done, I see no video. I hear the sounds of the game starting, but I'm staring at a black screen. I can hear the game working (i.e. when I hit the "ESC" key, I can move my mouse and hear the options click.) and I can see my mouse cursor, but none of the rest of my graphics are displaying.
Any thoughts?

Hopefully that is the right information.
Thank you. I hope something can be done.
Here is the problem:
After creating the character the game seems to start. I can hear sounds, and see the gold mouse arrow, but the rest of the screen is completely dark. I'm running version 1.01b.

However, on Saturday I installed the Dirt2 Demo. Dirt2 is a great game but it kept crashing on me and I got graphical corruption. I eventually decided that Dirt2 was not for me and uninstalled it and all the programs that came with it. Since then Dragon Age became unstable and would crash every few minutes. Nothing I tried would fix it and I eventually reverted to a previous backup after which everything worked fine again.
The moral of the story is that you should double check Dragon age after you install other programs. I have no idea why that happened.

My problem is that after playing the game for long hours, the loading times seems to increase as well. Loading a simple area (like the party camp/) can take a few minutes. I would generally quit to desktop and run the game again to have it load quickly. Any ideas?
My PC spec:
AMD Phenom II X4 955
KVS 4GB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia 8800GTX
Vista 64 OS
