ee my post of the steam forums a commentor gave me the link and it worked.

  • posting the fix:

    go to Documents/BioWare/MassEffect folder open BioInput, add line ConsoleKey= Tilde  
     under [Engine.Console] then in game press the Tilde key  ` to open console and then type viewmode unlit.

    that worked for me so it may work for you. I hear this problem is with AMD processors which I do have.

    Becareful what you do in there cause I do not know if you could mess something up or not. I do not take responsibility if you mess up your PC or game. Someone on the steam forums lead me to the fix and it worked for me so I am passing it along to you people here.
    Happy gaming.
