DA: Origins, UE - Crashing

Ok, this is not exactly a 'new' topic, but I can't seem to find any answers that work.  So, I'm trying to play DAO and I'm in Lothering. All the cut scenes and play has been fine. The game would cra...

    I looked at the dxdiag, but nothing jumps out. I'll send this to some other people and see if they have any ideas.

    Right now, I can only offer the standard advice. If you haven't already, try a clean boot. This will disable unnecessary third party software that sometimes interferes with the game.

    While Dragon Age Origins gets a little crashy on modern hardware, this is a bit excessive.

A Clean Boot is definitely a good step. I wonder if there was any new software you installed or updated around the time this started to happen.

Also, if the Clean Boot doesn't help, how exactly does it crash?

    @EA_David It depends. Sometimes, it crashes while the game is loading. I'll see the screen where I choose to start a new game or continue the one I'm on.. the 'logging in' screen. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I get past that and it loads me into Lothering. Then, soon as I start to fight the bandits (on one side behind the inn) or the villagers (behind the hill on Sten's cage side), we start the fight. It pauses, I press the space bar to unpause the battle and it starts again, then freezes and crashes to the desktop.
