Dragon Age Inquisition: Screen freezing/crash requiring restart
Hi guys,
First and foremost, here are the specs of my build:
- Intel Core i7 8700 8th CPU (Normal)
- MSI H310M Gaming Arctic Intel 8th Gen Motherboard (Normal)
- Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 2400MHz Desktop RAM - White (Normal)
- Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - ST1000DM010 (Normal)
- Western Digital WD Green 240GB 2.5" 3D NAND SSD (Normal)
- Western Digital WD Blue 500GB 2.5" 3d NAND SSD
- In Win 303 RGB Edition Mid Tower ATX Windowed Case - White (Normal)
- BitFenix Alchemy 2.0 30cm PURPLE Magnetic LED Strip (Normal)
- Thermaltake Litepower 750W Gen 2 Power Supply (Normal)
- Cooler Master MasterAir G100M RGB Low Profile CPU Cooler (Normal)
- Inno3D iChill GeForce GTX 1080 Ti X4 Ultra 11GB Graphics Card (Normal)
- Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64-Bit OEM With DVD - English (Normal)
My machine is pretty beastly, and it plays the game on Ultra setting at 100 +/- 10 FPS on 1440p
It also plays games like Witcher 3, Skyrim SE, Fallout 4, without any issues at well over 100FPS. I do not think this is a graphics problem, but I could be wrong.
However, with DA: I, I can only get between 10 and 60 minutes of gameplay before I run into a crash bug. The screen randomly freezes with a short buzzing noise. There is still music playing in the background, but the gameplay is frozen. I cannot switch tabs or open the taskbar. It requires a reboot or signout via ctrl+alt+del
Is there any way to resolve this?
