    Please make sure the "Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect 2\Save" folder is still empty.

    Make also sure that your GPU & CPU are not overclocked.

      This did it!  Moving BIOGame to my desktop fixed it!

        Good to hear! Have fun gaming.

        Edit: You can move your saves back into the "Documents\Bioware" folder they should work fine.
