Dragon Age Inquisition doesn't start?
Game wont launch. It opens a black box that immediately crashes to the desktop.

Thanks Grendel, you have a much newer CPU so I guess that's not likely to be the issue. I'm going to upgrade to Windows 8.1 this weekend and hope for the best. If it still doesn't work then I will have to go through the long and arduous task of trying to get a refund from greenmangaming (they have a policy of not accepting refunds on Origin keys regardless of the situation).
Here's my dxdiag if you want to take a look:

Not sure if we have the same exact issue or not, but I tried installing on a different pc with win 7 and a newer (but less beefy?) GTX 645 and it works fine. Not sure what the problem is but this makes me think its not specific to win 7.
Based on your earlier description, I think we have the same exact issue. When I click "play" in origin or try to open the .exe directly, a black window flashes for a fraction of a second and disappears without any error messages. It took me quite a few tries but I realized that I could just make out "Dragon Age: Inquisition" on the top left of the window bar before it disappears so it does look like it's attempting to start but something's preventing it from progressing.

Yeah, it does sound like one and the same issue from whats happening. There's no way I can even make out anything on the window that crashes it happens so fast though. I personally think it has something to do with the games GPU driver detection. As in they need to add support for alot more supported GPU drivers. Just a guess though. Unfortunately, this game has turned into Technical Support Simulator 2014 for me.
