Dead Space Crashes immediately After Launch

Dead Space 3 crashes on launch.

Sometimes nothing happens, I hit play button in Origin the button goes dark and after a few seconds I can click on it again
Other times I get this Application Error:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005).
Click OK to close the application."

Reliability history on Windows 10 has some additional information:

I bought it yesterday and after a couple of hours trying to fix it i found a post that said to disable any monitoring software like msi afterburner and i disabled it , now the game is working normally

May I know why was my thread merged with this one?

I don't own Saitek HOTAS and the problem is definitely NOT SOLVED.

0xc0000005 (Access Violation) is a generic error code that Windows can throw for a plethora of things.

I've tried disabling HID devices and unplugging everything except my KB/mouse and that doesn't solve it either.

Please mods, it would be courteous to ask me 1st if Thread-X solves my problem, and then merge / mark my thread as solved.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I am not running any monitoring / oc software in the background (like Msi Afterburner, Riva Tuner etc.).

I fixed it.

You have to add deadspace.exe as an exception under 'programme settings' in 'exploit protection'.  

Doesn't crash anymore.

Windows security -> app & browser control -> exploit protection -> programme settings -> add programme to customise -> deadspace3.exe

Tick box for "Force randomisation for images (Mandatory ASLR)" and turn it OFF.

Tick box for "Randomise memory allocaitons (Bottom-up ASLR) and turn it OFF.
