Re: [PC] Mass Effect Legendary Edition ME3 crashes after a short time.

@zigzagzug 

Download the newest driver for your GPU from NVIDIA.

Download the latest driver for your Intel APU from GIGABYTE

Download DDU:

Install the graphic driver this way:

• run DDU > save mode >  NVIDIA Software and Drivers > Clean and Restart.

• run DDU > save mode >  Intel Software and Drivers > Clean and Restart.

• shut down any not necessary programs in the background including the real time scanner of your anti-virus software.
• shut down any and all system monitoring programs and any overlooking tools you might have.

• Run the installation EXE of the Intel driver. > Reboot.

• Run the installation EXE if the NVIDIA driver > install only the GPU Driver and the PHYSX software.

(don't deselect components you need even if the have the same version number, the installation program will uninstall them if you do)
• Reboot > Test.

    Thanks for the advice. I reinstalled Intel and Nvidia drivers drivers after cleaning with ddu in safe mode. The latest Nvidia driver didn't allow me to umcheck Nvidia experience during install. 

    Anyway the crash is still happening . I've tried disabling all wifi network and Bluetooth connections, turning off antivirus and other backgroind processes. It happens with or without using the controller. The crash often happens when interacting with ingame terminals. At the moment I'm having it freeze/crash repeatedly whilebor after accessing the war assets terminal on the Normandy, but it doe happen at other times as well.

    Please preform a clean boot and test the Game in clean boot mode.

    Make sure your virus scanner and other security software and also Afterburner and similar software is disabled.

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