Does the visual problem start on Ilos? Normally it begins sooner.
This problem is caused by incompatibility with the entire AMD FX processor line-up. Normally the issue also occurs on Noveria.
I posted a workaround in this thread, which is borrowed from an older thread on the Mass Effect forums.
The freezing is unrelated and may be caused by data corruption. This can be fixed by reinstalling or repairing the game.

I have tested with the AMD Phenom, and it was fine, but when they changed to the FX (think that was the first wacky one), they dropped some backward compatble X86 instructions that are still included in the Intel CPUs, and haven't repaired that omission since then.
I mis-typed. I typed PC instead of FX. Silly me.
I have most recently played the game on a Phenom II, which works without issues.
