Game stops and crashes at 'Most Wanted' cutscenes

Ok, this is a weird one. Game plays fine, with all the latest updates, until I start a 'Most Wanted' race. At that point, the game does it's usual load, but when the cutscene before the race starts, the game freezes and crashes out. Hitting the button to bypass the cutscene doesn't help...touching nothing at all doesn't help. Weird part, for me, is that when starting a 'normal' race, the cutscene and gameplay is perfectly fine!!

This happens with any car I drive, and any MW race I try to enter.

I've already uninstalled/reinstalled the game and cleared the Windows temp folder.

Any ideas what else I can try?

I should mention, I've been away from the game for a few days, so at the time this issue started yesterday, the game, of course, had to update itself before I could play.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Guess I should mention this is the PC version, and my system far exceeds what is recommended. Also, I've not had this problem before yesterday. No major (or minor for that matter) changes to my system since last I played the game, so it sure seems like the last update to Origin &/or NFSMW broke something.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
