I'm on the asteroid, just got done repairing the elevator with the drone, but as soon as I get to the upper floor & run out into the hallway, the game locks up. I've tried restarting the game, resta...

I know... the workaround posted would help on any system where insufficient system resources was the problem. My system is so far above recommended for the game that its not an issue. I have 8 GB dedicated VRAM, 16 GB system ram, and a quad core processor, for example. I have sent my DXDIAG64 and my MSINFO files to EA, uninstalled and reinstalled origin, mass effect 3, and all the dlcs including leviathan, and nothing is working. The tech support folk at EA are flabbergasted and unable to figure it out.
Now, two weeks after I first encountered the problem, I am pretty frustrated at what I see as a total lack of customer care for a shoddy product. Surely you can see this from my side, just a little bit? For two weeks I've been unable to play my favorite game due to an unsolved bug, that apparently NO ONE is working to solve.
The AHQ is for "player-to-player" technical self-help and game-play discussions. No one here is under any obligation to respond to, much less resolve any issues at all. We're just fellow gamers, doin' the best we can.
That said, your situation is so unusual as to be, perhaps, unique. The game works correctly for the vast majority of (PC) players. Even many of those with problems similar to the one you're describing have been able to get it working using the tips and tricks others have posted here. The fact that your hardware is "so far above recommended" doesn't mean that the offered solutions (lower resolutions, windowed-mode, etc. ) might not have helped.
As for a "... a total lack of customer care for a shoddy product." The millions of happy, satisified players around the world might disagree. And the fact that one particular player is unable to get the product working on one particular PC (out of the infinIte number of combinations of hardware and software that can be built) does not support the assertion either.
