The game falls and with it, Windows (vista sp2 x86) black screen and grabbing sound. This happens randomly during the game. Helps restart, although you first have to turn off the power. The problem reports that "windows" are no logs. I'm from Russia sorry for the bad text)). Please help!
Game and windows crashed!

We need you to read Chris' explanation of the reporting procedure, and fill in the facts on your system, based on the second half of that decription, which is pinned at the top in the third position. Thank you.

What are your system specs? Did you update the game to 1.01?

I'm getting the exact same thing (in fact I've also been getting it for ME1 for the longest time as-well). It's confussing as hell because back when I used a 7800GT card with god knows how-old the drivers were -- it played flawless at max/ultra everything -- no lag -- and I only had a gig of RAM.
But then I upgraded, and ever since I got a 8800GTS it would do that crashing black screen and garrbled sound -- resetting my computer -- at random, no ryme-or-reason times. So, I got another stick of ram (now I got 2.7 gigs) and a GT220 card a few months ago. No dice -- same continuing problem on ME1. So I was quite upset when I saw the same problem with ME2. Finally the 1.01 patch came out -- and it seemed to work for a day. Guess I was just lucky, 'cause I'm back to having the same problems.
I have more play time with 186.XX drivers -- but the problem is still there. Can't play more than 5 mins with 196.21 and 196.34 Beta does better -- but not as good as 186.XX.
It's damn frusturating -- and it's been that way for about 2 years of Mass Effect for me. Shows me for upgrading =P
I really hope someone can finally figure this out. And, it's not overheating from what I've seen -- no BSoD saying anything about heat and the vents feel as cool as too be expected. Fans are running fine -- and I've clean-out the dust, too.
My specs are:
CARD: nVidia BFG GT 220 1GB DDR2 (processor cores 48), Driver: (all of them tested -- lowest 220 can go is 186.34) Curretly 196.34 Beta (set to allow application to control). PhysX Driver (set on Disabled) 09.09.1112 (came with game and it won't play without this driver installed).
Sound Card: RealTek ALC880 Codec, Driver: 5.10.0.5034
Comp: Gateway 838GM Win XP Pro SP3 (also seems to have Win XP Media Center Edition 2005)
Pentium 4 CPU (2 Processors, not Duel Core) 3.0 GHz
800 MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache
RAM 2.7
Power Supply: 600 Watts

Yeah, the recent nVidia drivers screwed up my game too.
Everything was flawless with ME1 until I installed 196.21. After that, ME1 crashed every 30mins. It continued on to ME2, but upon upgrading to 196.34 beta, the crashing frequency changed to sometimes at 2hrs, sometimes at 10 minutes.
I recently switched all of the nVidia Control Panel settings (right-click nVidia icon in the system tray) to Application Controlled while ME2 is active, and so far this week things are going smoothly.

Yeah, for some reason that doesn't work for me. What drivers are you using?

My computer is: intel core 2 duo 2,13 ghz, 4Gb ram, 8800 GT 512 MB. Game Version 1.01. Drivers 196.34. The same problem I had in the game "perfect world". It was also at the game version 1.00.
