Dragon Age Inquisition instantly crashes after a second or two

[SpaceChase99]

I reinstalled windows and had to install all of my old games. I started with Origins, then two, and now I am at Inquisition. I downloaded it overnight and went to play it the next day, but it instaly crashed without a warning or message. I have no idea what is happening because this doesn't happen with any other game I own.

Most common cause is anti virus, usually avast or avg. Put in exceptions for origin, dai, and saves folder for dai, or temp disable your AV. If that doesn't fix then post DxDiag file. Also add on programs for mice, keyboards and headphones such for razor products also cause issue. But I bet it is antivirus.

Thank you! Also on an unrelated note, do you know anything about DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION? I've installed new drivers using DriverEasy, but it still crashed my whole pc.

The game loads up and shuts down the computer within 3-5mins of play. Iv tried everything! Iv attached 2 files. If you have any thoughts on this i would very appreciative.
