Same problem here. Tried all possible solutions posted on the web and still crashing randomly each play. Running ATI this doesnt seem to be a Nvidia/AMD issue. We need a patch ASAP.
Base on all replies, it has nothing to do with GPU make or model, the game utilizing too much power and that cause the GPU to overheat (tested with both GTX TITAN and 690).
I observed that when I installed my GTX 690 and while playing I can hear the loud fan noise which is never happened for me in many games. Then within 20 mins the game crash and I have to restart my PC.
My CPU (i7-4790K) is water cooled, I swapped back my GTX TITAN, Also installed additional 120mm fan to blow direct cool air to the GPU and even put graphics on LOW settings ... but same result game crash and PC restarted.
I cannot say its poor game optimization since many of my friends have no issue with the game.
I just gave up since I tried all possible solutions on the net, I will wait for future patch in case bioware know about this issue or maybe try to buy PS4 version...
Note: I am playing AC Unity, Far Cry 4, Shadow of Mordor on Ultra setting and never had any issue.
Strange that you guys are having such issues.
Playing on Ultra/Fade Touched.
My system specs:
Corsair TX850W PSU
MSI Z68A-GD65 G3.
i7 2600k Stock clocks, h100i cooler.
16 GB ram using XMP in BIOS
GTX 970 4gb 344.75 drivers (thinking of rolling back to 344.65)
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
I had to update the BIOS on my motherboard to even use the GTX 970, wouldn't post otherwise. (Had to reactivate Windows afterwards, apparently was enough to trigger it)
Max temp on my CPU is 48°C and 68°C on the GPU when playing this game.
Try uninstalling the GPU drivers, reboot, clean registry with CCleaner, then reinstall the GPU drivers with clean install ticked and install only the GPU Driver and PhysX nothing else, none of the HDMI sound, 3D Vision and experience or whatever.
Add Origin and Dragon Age: Inquisition to the Firewall and Antivirus exception list.
Install latest Chipset drivers for your motherboard.
Update network/WIFI drivers.
Update sound drivers.

I need a Ivy CPU to use PCI-E Gen 3 so it is only using Gen 2 for me, dunno maybe bug in Gen 3 try switching to PCI-E Gen 2 in BIOS and see if it fixes issues for you, If it is set to AUTO change it manually. But for now just try turning off Link State Power Management in Windows first before making change in BIOS.

Seems there is a ) at the end of the last link that can't edit out, just remove it if you get a error opening the link.
If your motherboard BIOS is very outdated and new versions are out, might consider an update but this usually in the "if it works, don't change category." And done at your own risk since there is always a risk of bricking the motherboard.
Not that your suggestions aren't good but I will not risk anything by doing some of the things you suggest only to get one game to run properly. I have approximately 100 games installed on my computer and every game runs fine with the exception of DA:I. I'm guessing it's not my PC that needs updates... 😕mileyfrustrated:
Agreed this is another issue the devs looked past and continue to make there rep look as great as EA has.... They got there big payday and will work on it a few months down the road.
