Priority: Citadel II
At the start of the "Stop Council Elevator" phase, the game exits immediately after the cutscene and Shepard becomes active. Even the autosave does not have time to complete before the game exits (I am now loading from a quicksave prior to the elevator scene). No other obvious crash report is given. The game restarts at the main menu and is now unplayable as restarting the mission leads to the same crash / game exit.
Steps currently taken:
1. Restarted mission (no option to abort mission)
2. Restarted game / computer
3. Disabled all graphic options
4. Windowed / full screen mode
5. Repaired game via Origin client
6. Updated graphics driver
Please advise if there are any other workarounds. I can't seem to disable the Original In-Game Overlay, though I wouldn't think that's an issue after completing ME1/ME2. I also see no reason to download the entire client again. Failing this I would have to restart with a new ME3 game, but I also have no reason not to think I won't hit this again once I reach this point. I don't know if there is a game bug or a graphics crash.

Looks like I've gotten it resolved! I saw another post that suggested the Steam "validate files" option, which I ran and it found one missing file. This seems to have now resolved the issue! Woo!
