Dragon Age: Origins random crashing.

So I've updated all my drivers and I'm running Windows 10 (64 bit) and using DirectX 11. I'd restart my computer and play for a decent 40 minutes before it crashing randomly. How random? VERY. Somet...

Thanks for the information @GrandInfi. 

There is a bunch of threads with very different solutions to problems happening with Windows 10 that may help:

- Problem saving in DA:O after updating from win7 to win10 

- Dragonage Origins crashes windows 10

- Can't launch Dragon Age Origins on Windows 10

Is your new computer running Windows 10 too @Fayether? 

One other thing not mentioned in these threads is to try running the game in compatibility mode (See: Running a game in compatibility mode in Windows 10 in the official FAQ).

Hope that helps.

Woo! The compatibility mode solution works for me; or rather, it does for the time being. I've been playing it for the past few hours with no problems thus far. So I would highly recommend for anyone to try that if none of the other solutions work for you. Oh, however, keep in mind that in the link leading to "the Official FAQ" that the instructions do mention to do it with the desktop shortcut. I did not do that due to the fact that the desktop short cut I use is merely for the launcher, so I had to go into my files to find the "DAOrigins.exe" and NOT "DAOriginsLauncher.exe".

Also 3 of the 4 links you listed were relatively unhelpful due to the nature of my initial question, and the information provided by them.
