Hello again! I'm pleased to report that after a full reinstall of my PC, the game finally runs without issues (so far, at least, but it's far enough to save so that's a good step). Thanks again for all the troubleshooting help you offered!
I'm afraid the same problem persists. It ran long enough for me to start moving Shepard around the burning ship, as it has a couple of times before, but when I got into contact with one of the floating chairs on the way to Joker I got the same crash as before. What's more, I experienced a BSoD right afterwards.
I'm attaching the Reliability Monitor logs for the Windows crash in case they're relevant, the one for Mass Effect 2 is exactly the same as the previous ones save for its timestamp. Starting to suspect there might be some underlying hardware failure though.
Please disable "Origin in Game" if it is enabled and test.
Also, we need to know what exactly is responsible for the blue screen crash.
Download "WhoCrashed" and run the program. > Click on "Analyze" > Scroll down and save everything after "Crash Dump Analysis" into a text file and load that text file up like the DxDiag.
After that run SFC /scannow and post the final massage after it has finished.
Since I bought the game on Steam, there is no Origin integration whatsoever. I did still look through the settings, and have tried disabling the Steam overlay (Steam's equivalent of Origin in-game) with no effect.
Attaching the WhoCrashed results, and the results of sfc / scannow read:
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time. Beginning verification phase of system scan. Verification 100% complete. Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

Sorry about that, somehow I was at ME3 in my mind. Good thinking though, to disable the steam overly.
I assume the the Windows Anniversary Update was installed before you bought ME2?
Is that a update or a fresh installed version of the Windows Anniversary Update?
The WhoCrashed.txt indicates a problem with your Graphic driver. I would suggest that you try to install driver 368.81 from Nvidia.
The 368.81 driver is WDDM 2.0 while anything above is WDDM 2.1
- Use DDU in save mode.
After reboot:
- shut down any not necessary programs in the background.
- if your GPU is overlocked set it back to the factory clocks.
- shout down any and all system monitoring programs and any overlooking tools you might have.
- shut down your virus scanner.
- install the driver only from the Exe, don't use GeForce experience.
- use the custom installation and only install the components you need. Make sure you select the PhysX System Software. (don't deselect components you need, the installation program will uninstall them if you do)
- always preform a clean installation. (if you have profiles for games, back them up using "NVIDIA inspector")
Okay, if I'm understanding that correctly your suggestion is to roll back to a previous version of my graphics drivers, correct? Would doing so through these means overwrite my current drivers or will they be installed side by side with the ones I have? I'd like to play the game, but it's not worth rolling back to me since that's likely to negatively affect other games.
