Dragon Age Origins Crashing on PC

Can I assume this is also happen in Awakening, DA2, and Inquisition? I have not played DA or any of the expansions in over a year. I was lucky enough to upgrade to a Creator laptop and Alienware...

No, the laptop is running at 16:10 ratio.... 3840 x 2400 @ 60Hz. Not great for gaming but perfect for Adobe and work. The transition between the laptop screen and the extended Alienware seems to work fine. Since returning my expensive Thunderbolt 4 hub and going with a simple USB-C 9-1 adapter things seem to be more stable in my games. In the end this was more of a Hardware issue relating to the laptop than anything else....
For those still playing the game and want to experience it in what I feel is it's best form. Invest in a better Monitor if you can. I have tried 32 inch 2560 x 1440p monitors, 24-27 inch 1080p monitors at 240 and 300Hz, the 49 inch Odyssey. In the end the 34in Ultra Wide was my sweat spot. I am lucky enough in my job at times I get to test hardware.... I was able to test 5 different 34in. Monitors. Westinghouse (1440p 100Hz & 1500R Curve.), Gigabyte (1440p 144Hz & 1500R), Samsung G5 (1440p 165Hz & 1000R), Dell UW (1440p; 144Hz 1800R), and the AOC (1440p 165Hz 1000R). All of these monitors except the Samson are good monitors in there own way. The Samsung is about horribly, the base is cheap garbage and the screen has to many glitches when using a second monitor along side it. In the end the Alienware 34in. UW OLED has made this game look new again.... I got it on sale for $799 + tax and free shipping... Yes expensive but worth it.
Thank you for the replies.....

Replies are posted immediately and a DxDiag in text form will always be approved.

3440 x 1440 is UWQHD, so a ultra wide resolution that is certainty not fitting for your laptop.
Your Aero 16 XE Studio has either a UHD+ 3840x2400 or QHD+ 2560x1600 monitor resolution.

Also, the game runs flawless on my 16 core i5-13700k without disabling any cores.
