PC version completely unplayable

Ok I have wasted $60 on plenty of games but at least I could play them before I decided I didn't care for them. Dead Space 3 for the PC crashes at the end of the opening cinematic every single time. I have tried several of the ideas already posted and I have been fiddeling with settings for about 3 hours now and am getting no where. My computer is:

ASUS G73JH

Intel i7 CPU 1.60 GHz

6 gig memory

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 w/1 gig memory

Realtek High Definition Audio

All drivers have been updated. At first I couldn't get the menus to work properly but after reseting the diplay settings to default I was able to get a curser and work the menus. Every thing is fine until the end of the opening cinematic at that point I get the saving game graphic for a second and the curser displays but the screen goes black and freezes. I have to do a hard reset (power down) to get my computer back.

It also seems that there is no support from EA or the makers of this game. I find this completely unacceptable. I realize that this game has only been released for one day but to put out a product that does not work doen't seem like much of a business plan.

Even so I am still willing to try to get this game to work so if any body has any other suggestions I would be willing to try them. I have been messing around with the settings in the system.txt file but nothing has changed any thing. If someone who has the PC version that is working would you be kind enough to post your system.txt file so that I can compare settings.

Thanks

Noel
