I put texture detail to the lowest setting and the crashes stopped 🙂 its just sad that the game looks ugly now ☹️
I realize this is and old topic and an old reply, but I have not seen the fix for this problem being suggested by EA and this topic comes up top when Googling the problem. I had the same problem which was 'fixed' by setting video settings low.
If you have a 4gb ram videocard, this may be the source of the crashes.
Download the 4GB patch (you can google or just download this http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php), after unzipping it, run it and select the daorigins.exe. This fixed it for me, I can now play with high settings.
I hope this will still help someone!
Just want to let you know this fix still works in 2020. Thank you!

DAO is crashing again. I don't know if it's cuz I'm nearly done (dwarves, elves, mages, Redcliffe - Eamon cured) or I'm in Denerim or what.
What can I do NOW?? Sigh...
