Dragon Age Inquisition suddenly crashes at random times (PC)

here my topic, similar thing, sometimes game crashes & sometimes closes suddenly + more bugs

http://answers.ea.com/t5/Dragon-Age-Inquisition/Bugs-That-i-Have-noticed-BUG-REPORT/m-p/4072898/highlight/false#M21419

just decided to write down bugs i notice to forum

not only does it crash it to desktop but at times causing my computer to crash as well at times. I can run multiple games and programs without a problem but soon as i start inquisition and then go to do something else the game either crashes or the pc does.

don't know if it will help with the DirectX issue but try installing

Microsoft Visual C ++ 2012 redistributable

and

DirectX Runtime June 2010

it did the trick for me

I have CTDs occasionally, too. I seem to crash pretty reliably when I'm dpad'ing through companions at the "equip potions" table. Not always, but if I'm going to crash it'll usually be there.

Occasionally crash elsewhere, randomly. No clue what brings it on.

i have Microsoft Visual C ++ 2012 redistributable (86x) & Microsoft Visual C ++ 2012 redistributable (64x), is it the same u mean? i have 64bit system

i have a suspicion that the game is way to sensitive about other processes, if u ask why, for example when i looked in Reliability Monitor i so a small that my app had small update, i say small cause reader app is not like windows uptade & does not take so much as this app update, in other games even alienautopcy can scan & no changes, i think even if for example 1 extra WMI stars running cause its requiered for something (usually i have 1 running, but sometimes second starts to run for short time, 15min - 1h, i have not take the time, but its somthing like that), so i believe that even processes like that starting & stoping effect the game

maybe its just cause gugs with other games are harder to notice, but i have never play'd a game that is as bugged as DAI, its just a surprice, i hope they will fix this issues

first day i installed it worked allmost with out any issue, its just in the beginning i with casandra got stuc in combat mode ready to attack, so no dialogue came after fight cause i was still in combat with no enmys around 😃 save & load fixed it, i mean after load i was out of combat

Have the same issue, random crashes leading to PC restart (it hangs totally, I can hear windows error in the back , then display gets NO SIGNAL from GPU, sound gets looped and it restarts the PC after a sec or two). The crashes never occur after same time, sometimes it is after few hours, sometimes after 5 minutes.

Here's my setup (cant get dxdiag atm, will attach while at home):

i5-4660 3.2 Ghz (NOT overclocked)
GeForce GTX 970 4GB (may have a factory OC, but if the game crashes because of factory OC on cards.. no comment here)
8 GB DDR3

Game never crashes in Skyhold. On the other hand - there is no possibility of playing more than 10 minutes in Redcliffe without a crash. Can reliably crash it every time I go from farmlands camp in hinterlands to the lvl 12 rift near druffalo.

It is.. very odd. PC was bought 1-2 months ago and can play all the modern games with 1080p 60fps+ no problem. Checked the temperature logs - no overheating.
Tried changing graphic options to low, going to older drivers/new beta drivers - nothing helps. Have the .NET and other required distributables in order.

It is just riddiculous.
