Ok, I complained about this a while back, and just tried again today, with the same damn problems repeating themselves.
Dragon Age: Origins will not run on my computer. At a certain point my game will lock up, leading to various, horrible results. For those who know the game, it's in Ostagar, for those who really know the game, it always seems to first happen when I enter the area where the priest is on stage giving a speech. Once it happens though, it seems any save I load anywhere inside Ostagar, or once I get there from a save in the starting area will trigger it.
Anyway! I always get critical system failure. Even with auto-reboot on, sometimes I just get an "analog out of range" prompt and the monitor goes black. More recently I started getting "processing self image setting", which is new to me.
I have DA fully patched, and all the DLC.
I'm running Vista 64bit with service pack 2.
An AMD Phenom 9600 Quad-core at 2.30 GHz with 4gigs of RAM.
ATI Radeon HD 3800 Series video card.
I know my display and monitor drivers are completely up to date, and I should be running DirectX 9 alongside 10, but dxdiag doesn't seem to want to tell me. Outside of that I'm completely lost.
