I removed your msinfo file as there may be personal information in that.
I do not have any flight controller. Only controller I have is a 360 one and it is not plugged when I try and play. I only have the 360 controller, my logitech keyboard and logitech mouse plugged in.

Can you please manually run the following installers and then perform a clean boot before running the game:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dead Space\__Installer\vc\vc2005sp1\redist\vcredist_x86.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dead Space\__Installer\directx\redist\DXSETUP.exe
Clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

Still crashes, start it up, black screen and then stops responding.
