crashes to desktop with "speed.exe has stopped working" error

I have installed Need For Speed Most Wanted Black addition . Patched it to ver 1.3. Updated Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 drivers to the latest ver (9.17.10.2932) and the program still crashes back to the desktop when selecting any of the options to start racing.

The error is "speed.exe has stopped working"

 Is their something else that I can do to run this game on my system?.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium(64bit), Service Pack 1, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz, 16.0 GB RAM.

    gsmenace, I have almost the exact same problem - as well as almost the exact same PC specs.

    My game has only started crashing since the latest update (1/17/13), and only when I try to start races from the 'Most Wanted' list. Game hangs up when the intro movie starts, and the dreaded 'Need for Speed has stopped working' error occurs. I can play 'normal' races just fine - only the specific MW list races cause the crash.

    You are at least the third person (counting myself) that has reported something like this. I'm sure there are many more. With any luck, we'll get a resolution soon - it's very frustrating not being able to advance in the game, or, in your case, even play the game at all!!

    Here's hoping for a fix soon!
