Can you please try to disable "Origin in game" in Application Settings of Origin client and run Origin as Administrator?
i tried it and it still hasnt worked the same error keeps happening
Please create a DxDiag in text file format, also go to your Reliability monitor (Press the windows key and "R" at the same time and copy or type "perfmon /rel" (without the quotes) in > ENTER and look if it has ME2 entries.
If yes double click at the last one, copy it to the clipboard, (Bottom left corner) save it to a text file and load it up together with the DxDiag. You can do that with the "choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
thanks for that advise but im having trouble doing it
What kind of trouble? Feel free to ask if anything is unclear.
If you have Mass effect Trilogy ,please try this:
i tried that and it hasnt changed anything
I'm having the same problem, and have tried all previous fixes mentioned in this thread with no success. When I start ME2, it gets to the "press any key" screen, freezes, the screen slowly flashes a couple of different colors, and then I get a BSOD with the error messages "VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE" and "atikmpag.sys". My system is as follows:
CPU: Intel i5 6500 3.2GHz, stock clock
Motherboard: ASRock Z170 Pro4S
RAM: Avexir 16GB DDR4
GPU: AMD RX480 8GB x2, Crossfire disabled for ME2
GPU Driver: AMD Crimson 17.3.3
Storage: 256GB SSD boot drive, 1TB SSD game storage drive with Origin & Steam libraries
Monitor: AOC AG271QX
I've played ME2 through Steam for years with no problems, but downloaded it via Origin so that I could play the DLC and transfer characters more easily. I've done a clean install of my GPU drivers, repaired, updated, and deleted/reinstalled the game, and changed the .exe names in the Binaries folder, but the furthest I've been able to get is the intro cutscene before the game freezes and BSODs on me.
yh i am having the same problem my sprcs are:
CPU : Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz, 3301 Mhz, 6 Core(s)
GPU : ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 STRIX
