I know three causes for General Protection Fault:
- Unsupported graphics card (but your card is more than good enough for this game)
- Bad video drivers
- A specific sidemission on the Citadel
I recommend you download the latest Geforce drivers and do a clean installation of those. If the new drivers keep giving you issues, download an older driver instead.
I updated to the newest driver yesterday, but it didn't helped. I'm currently re-installing my whole windows, because I kinda have the feeling something screwed up. Maybe it will work when I'm done with all the updates - hope never dies.
But I also contacted the EA Support. They couldn't help me and they passed my case on to a specialist team and well let's see if they can find the problem. It will take at least 3-4 days until I can expect an answer from their side.
I don't know but could it also be that the savegame is corrupted? Haven't had the time yet to start a new one to test it.
If you still have your savefile somwehere, upload it and I'll test it for you.
I've seen a couple of mentiones of GPF errors this week. It could be that Nvidia's latest drivers are not compatible with ME1. I've had issues with Geforce drivers on ME1 before, and recent Nvidia drivers cause all kinds of glitches in Dragon Age 2.
Well I made a new savegame and have found a new planet that causes the GPF. I saw a few other people having the same issue while landing on planets too.
Going back to an older driver didn't help, but I'm going to test a few other drivers.
Since so many people seem to have the same problem, I don't think any longer it's due to a corrupted savefile.
Edit: Just got the answer from the 'specialist team' the case was sent to. They can not help, because the studio no longer works on ME1. So great, people like me, with this issue and no workaround helps, are screwed.
