Game causes PC to shut down! Nobody talking about it, EA ignoring many issues.

When playing Dragon Age: Inquisition it will cause my PC to shut off at various points.

-Shut down in loading screen

-Shut down when first waking up in Chantry camp

-Shut down after talking to Seeker and starting the Inquisition

The points for shut down have been all over the place. I have tested on both HIGH and LOW graphics. I have Origin disabled in background. I have tested both WITH and WITHOUT the Framrate fix that EA gave out. Still causes shut down.     I have no issue with Witcher 2 on high, or Battlefield 3, Farcry 4, Star Citizen...etc.   This has never happened before and Inquisition is the only game STILL that causes it.

-AMD FX 8350 8 Core

-EVGA 970 FTW 4 gig

-32 gigs RAM

-ASUS Sabertooth mobo

-Thermaltake 1250 Watt PSU

Please don't try to tell me it's my power supply. The 900 series from Nvidia are the most power effective yet.

Why in the name of Hell`s Flames does this game have such a hard time.  Most of it looks like **bleep** even when on the highest settings compared to Farcry or Witcher 2. Yet it can`t even preform on LOW graphics. The cutscene issue is just amazing.   EA and Bioware should be ashamed for hyping their product so much then put out something that is outdated and terribly programmed, with no innovation. I should have known better than to buy EA. Origin is a bad joke, and everything they`ve been putting their hands on has rotted away.

I just want to be able to play this stupid game without having to deal with the STUPID garbage and EXCUSES from EA and Bioware. Back peddeling and trying to finish a game after it`s sold. I`m sick of it.     It was the only this I asked for this Christmas.   I accept that it`s my own fault for trying once again to tust this miserable company.

    I have no issues running the game with a 600w and a card that supposedly needs a 750 my hardware is much less then yours, game maybe crashed once to me it sounds like you have a software issue

    1. Check and make sure your firewall isn't blocking Origins from it's servers this could cause a crash i suppose if your playing and don't see the pop up to allow it. I have orgins exceptioned through windows and my anti-virus

    2. Do a port search your router maybe blocking ports the game uses even in single player it connects to the cloud

    I don't think it's your hardware or nessarily the game as it runs beautiful and has since i got the midnight release on my pc whwich again is much less then your rig i am running it on a amdfx quad 3.1 with 8 gigs of ram a 600w ps and a radeaon r9 200 so I really think something is blocking the game for you. I am also running medium to high graphics with no lag, shearing, or anything else.

    I also launch the game through razor coretex and it's game boost software found here:

    If your PC shuts down, it's likely a failsafe due to overheating hardware. This game has high CPU usage, resulting in higher temperatures.

    It does run a bit hot like he says if you use specy you can see how hot your components are running you can also use MSI afterburner to increase your graphics fan speed which won't harm your card in any way both are free programs. I personaly never had it exceed 130F on the card and 110F on my processor with three case fans of course my processor isn't overclocked if yours is that causes a large amount of heat two and really no need to do such
