Mass Effect 2-PC Keeps Crashing on Illium

Mass Effect 2-PC keeps crashing on Illium when I try to take the cab to the area with the Justicar. It was previously crashing in the more common place under Liara's office but I was able to get past there after changing all my graphics settings to low/off and switching to borderless windowed mode. I have tried it with graphics settings both on/off and in windowed/fullscreen modes. I also left and returned to illium with different squadmates to see if that would solve my problem. Finally I tried a reinstall but that hasn't worked either. If anyone has any other suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to play back through before starting 3. 

My PC specs are

OS: Windows 8

RAM: 16GB

SSD: 128GB

HDD: 2TB (has Origin install and game files)

GPU: GTX 680

CPU: i5-3570k

  • On the Steam platform I had to disable   dynamic shadows and  light shadows and I also had to play in  window mode just to be able to do the quests on Illium.
