Please try the following fix, it worked well for me. If it does not work feel free to post your system specs and I'll see if any of the other things I tried work for you.

Choose the dragonageorigins.exe process and right click. Hit "Set Affinity"
Check only 1 cpu and uncheck the rest, then exit.

On Windows 8, to be able to right-click and see "set affinity," you need to be in the Details tab of the task manager. Look for DAOrigins.exe there, right click on it, and proceed to follow the instructions in the post I'm replying to.

@DominateEyeUK I'm having the crashes in just half an hour, for Awakening.

does setting the affinity really work? Mine is win 7 and definitely alright requirements as the base game and DA2, and other games don't crash.
