Origins and DLC crash. HELP!

Well, just got a new gaming machine. It's over qualified for a lot of these old games and like others out there I'm stuck just like everyone else. I've tried uninstall/re-install tactic, changing res...

So... not really a tech support forum since none of them really ever show up. I believe I discovered a fix for my game and hope that anyone else that may be pulling their hair out over any graphics issue sees this (and may have the same Nvidia card I mentioned in previous comments) so they came get back to having fun.
I skimmed through a few YouTube videos and found something that is allowing me to play! It takes about 10 minutes... or depending on your download speed to do this fix. If you follow these two videos below you should be able to get your graphics challenges under control:

The important video has information to go to two different sites and is very easy even though it is 3 years old. Just watch it and it should help no matter where you get your games. The OP in the video uses Origin and I use Steam...

Slight progress in keeping the game running... I am a bit embarrassed but, I never made any changes to the start-up/game select screen until a couple of days ago. I decided to turn all graphics down to minimum settings and got to play for a little over an hour (completed Koraci Wilds area and wandered through Ostagar too). I did a number of things to get to this point and still working the problem:

Deleted my most current video drivers (from Nvidia Experience) > Downloaded drivers from the online site--www.geforce.com/drivers. This seemed to be the biggest help.

ALT+Tab > Open Task manager > Set affinity for DAO launcher to CPU 01

> Open properties for DAO launcher >Compatibility to Win 8

Set all in-game video settings low

I welcome any and all other tips and tricks and even hope this helps some of us out there that are currently using Nvidia products as they always seem a bit sensitive/stubborn/restrictive.
