Just bought Mass Effect 1 from Origin on my new rig.

Every time I try to start it, just stops working. I can't even get to the title screen. Running the game with Admin privileges doesn't help. All of my drivers are up to date.

When I start the game, it takes me to the configuration utility. When I press play in the utility it goes to the ME logo, then my screen goes black for 2 seconds and a message pops up saying ME.exe stopped working.

My specs are:

  • Windows 7 Ultimate
  • AMD Phenom processor
  • Sapphire Radeon HD 6850
  • 8 gigs of ram

What's in the details of the error message? Could you add a PasteBin link with those details? – Slurpee Feb 20 at 22:29
Are you using Steam or Origin version? – Mandemon Feb 20 at 22:51
Origin, and it just says ME.exe stopped working and thats it – Dima Thefencingdude Lukhtai Feb 21 at 0:41
Any sort of crash logs in the game directory? You could look in the application events in the event viewer. See if there is an error for the game there. – Slurpee Feb 21 at 8:00
