    I had this exact same problem and found the solution on another thread. This worked perfectly for me.  

    "Since this post comes up as second from the top on google for me and since it was never solved, here’s what I remember was a very good solution.

    DA:O cannot properly handle using multiple cores and especially on anything that is more than 4 cores (so basically any i7 with 4 cores or any 8 cores and up) will make the game crash on loading because it tries to spend the resources between all the cores but the game doesn’t patch them together properly at all, if that makes sense. The solution is to start the game, pull up task manager, right click the dragon age process and go to details. This should bring you to the details tab. Right click daorigins.exe and click set affinity. Make sure you have CPU 0 and only one other cpu core selected. 0 is paramount as that is the one the game will always try to use. Anything else might cause a crash again. 

    I forget how to set the game to start by default with that specific affinity but this should help you ply. It’s been working flawlessly for me with this method. Extra 2 minutes of work is a small price to pay"

    Hope this helps
