(PC) Mass Effect Andromeda Digital Deluxe Crashing

This is a BRAND NEW Computer.

Now the issue here is, I have tried a work-around after reading several comments online, EA Forums, Mass Effect Forums, Steam Forums, Origin Forums, and the only thing that has slightly fixed the issue is setting my pagefile to zero. But the problem still persists.

I can play the game for a while, cutscenes are somewhat smooth, but the gameplay is still laggy in my opinion, and the MAJOR issue, is while playing for a few minutes or so, it will eventually crash, giving me the traditional DirectX crash report that EVERYONE and their mother seems to be getting.

Now since BIOWARE Montreal doesn't even exist anymore, and EA is more concerned about making money, rather than noticing that they are LOSING money, and probably wont even take the time to look at this post, let alone read it. I have come to you, fellow gamers, of the PC Master Race and humbly ask for your assistance. Does anyone have a work-around that can permanently fix this issue for me, or a solution using the information I have provided?

Because I honestly doubt EA will take a hint from Firaxis Games or Bethesda's notebook and open up the game to the modding community so that WE can produce unofficial patches, and work-arounds to fixing all of their mistakes, and broken coding, errors, and destroying their disgusting bugs that plague all of their games. But like I said before, they probably wont even take the time to read this, or even look at it.

UPDATE:

Got the furthest so far and actually had to close the game myself!

What did the trick for me was going in the BIOS and switching the processor settings all on auto. Left the XMP profile on, but other than that all stock all the way.
(previously I had the performance profile that came with the hardware selected, so no fancy custom OC or anything like that)

Check your dump files (it's a pain in the *) and see if you get a BugCheck 124 error somewhere as that is associated with CPU issues.

Fingers crossed it turns out to be THE solution.

L.E.:

With the game alt tabbed into the taskbar and after a serious round of playtime, I can safely say that this was indeed the fix.

I wish I could start playing it again, but it keeps freezing every time I start it.

Hey @AngelFenton996,

This thread is quite old so I'll be locking it here to avoid further necroposting.

I'd definitely check through these troubleshooting steps as a starting point to see if that helps at all.

If you're still running into trouble after going through those steps and the suggestions in this thread, feel free to start a new thread with more details about your issue and if possible, your DxDiag file. That will give us a bit more info to see what may be going on, thanks!
