Did you install the demo? If not that's probably your problem: the release date is the 22nd I think. I would check on EA's site to see if they have any issues with you video card, although such a swift crash could really mean anything. To be safe, I'd reinstall it, and if possible run a verification (a sum) on the file you used to install. Many download sites give these. If you need one form EA, I can sum mine, but know that if they don't match, nothing will be proved (as I don't know if MY copy is good). I might actually try downgrading the drivers if reinstalling doesn't work. You never know...
