Dragon Age Inquisition black screen
I can get as far as the menu sometimes. Last weekend the game ran on my computer Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Monday it loaded but with lag times of many seconds to take a single step. Since then...

If I might make a suggestion
download the program GPU-Z and check your GPU load. I was having a problem similar to the one you are discribing with another game recently and the problem was my GPU was being hijacked by a bitcoin mining application which was forcing my GPU to run at 100% all the time. It was not detected by my antivirus the only evidence i had it running was my GPU running at 100% constantly while my pc was idle. I tracked it down and had to remove it manually myself so I could be wrong but I wanted to throw this out there since I literally just removed the thing earlier this week.

Actually, the OP has no idea at all what the game requirements are:
" Graphics card is an HD 7450, better than the minimum required. "
Quite wrong.

Minimum PC Specs
OS: Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64-bit
CPU: AMD quad-core CUP @2.5 GHz / Intel quad-core CPU @2.0 GHz
System RAM: 4 GB
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 4870 / NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Graphics Card Memory: 512 MB
Hard Drive Space: 26 GB
DirectX 10what the ....
that makes no sense, you are right but why is that card labeled hd 7450 its waaay below specs for a hd 7000 series
i checked the specs of it vs the old geforce 8600 gt i was running in 2007 or so and it said
"In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT 512MB GDDR3 are noticeably better than the AMD Radeon HD 7450 GDDR3"
that is freakin wild

For both game GPU producers, the leading number is GENERATIONAL, meaning what features are offered. The next number is the CLASS and then the subclass, so that an "n450" is a tinker toy, whether it is an HD 5460, HD 6450, or HD 7450 (and even the HD 8450). After that, an "n570" is on the fence, neither a real game card, nor a tinker toy. The "n670" was the lowest number gaming card for several years, through the HD 6670 number.
The standard game playing Radeon for quite awhile was the "n850", just below the minimum named for this game. AMD now produces the R7 2nn and R9 2nn cards.
nVIDIA has the GT "n20" as the equal for the Radeon HD "n450", and the GT "n30" equates more or less to an HD "n570", and the GT n40 to the Radeon HD n670.
Over time, the generation improvements move where the numbers fit in both versus the competition and the cards from some years ago. A GT 240 is not at all as good as a current GT 730 or GT 830.
