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

Solution:
Hi everyone, I was getting the same issue: I would launch DAI and immediatly would get the spinning cursor and then nothing. I went to Task Manager and started ending tasks which looked like might interfere with DAI. In my case I had installed a task bar customization app called BINS: http://www.1upindustries.com/bins/. Once I quit that application DAI launched without a hitch. This worked for me hope it helps, cheers.

Thanks bacadd, great tip.
Something that can help anyone who is having launch issues is to restart your machine with a Clean Boot, this helps with detecting whether 3rd-party programs are interfering with the game.

I tried a couple things through msconfig...clean boot instructions, safe boot with networking, and one that just loaded base video so it had ridiculous big resolution...same problem though small black window crash to desktop. I dont even see anything in event viewer about an app crash.
The minimum of a 4 core CPU seems to be true. I have a Phenom X3 710. Same problem as everyone else. I'd get the loading icon, hear the music, but stuck on a black screen with just my mouse cursor. I unlocked the 4th core on my CPU just to see what happens. After reboot, the game started up just fine. Playing it right now.
A clean boot does not fix the problem with me. I will note however that Origin continues to hang in the background as if it is still attempting to communicate with the crashed game.
Hi guys, I've been looking into the quad core issue and it might be an idea to check if your system is actually using all the processor cores available, apparently most of them are set to use only one even if there actually are more available.
Have just changed my setttings to use 4 cores (it was indeed set to use only one) which should mean I now have a quad core to work with and was in the middle of reinstalling the game anyway, will let you know if this works.
