Try going to Sound in the Control Panel, click on Properties for your sound device, and under the Advanced tab select a sound format THAT IS NOT 24bit 192khz

Specs:
5870 1GB
6GB DDR RAM
920 @ 2.67ghz

I'll get past the normal 'crash' were you can't even get to the menu, but when i go to start a new game. It will just end up on that screen and not do anything

same issue here
i launch a new game, see the loading screen with dragon, it stucks on ut and i hear the intro ...

i have tried the sound fix > same issue

after trying different type of graphic settings :
putting low > game worked
putting > ultra game worked
changed few things in the nvidia control panel > game didn't load on low or ultra
i restored nvidia settings, put game on low > save loaded
ultra > still hearing the sound but no video :(
