Mass Effect 2 Keeps crashing Entire PC

Hell all,

I am experiencing a very frustrating problem with ME2. It crashes, when it crashes my entire screen either goes white, green, purple, or black. With a loud audio buzzing sound in the background. 

Things I have tried that did not work

- Updating graphics card

- Running Mass Effect 2 on compatibility windows 7

- Running Mass Effect 2 on only two CPU cores through Affinity on Task Manager

- Disabling Origin In Game

- Disabling the entire internet while I Play

- Running in Administrator Mode for both Origin and Mass Effect 2

Non of these have worked thus far, it crashes randomly but I have observed it in the Galaxy Map mode, travelling through relays. Or in a Cut scene, Or in Combat. Most of the time it is random.

Please help me as I have searched the internet and found none answers so far, I would really like to play Mass Effect 2.

    • Hit Windows key and X.
    • Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered.
    • Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Checkhealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
    • If no errors were found reaped steps 1 & 2.
    • Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
    • The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here.
    • After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key and X again.
    • Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator)”
    • Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “sfc /scannow” without quotes. >ENTER.
    • Post the message you receive at the end of the processes here.

    What about other powerfull games ?

    screen either goes white, green, purple, or black. With a loud audio buzzing sound

    Once I had this problem in any game (at that time I was playing Far Cry 1). The problem was solved trite - I cleaned the PSU of my computer from dust.
