I have experienced similar problems. Once when I reseated the expansion memory on my laptop it fixed. But most likely you need to either update your video drivers or reduce the graphics settings (options).
Update: I reinstalled the game from scratch using ImpulseAnywhere, updated to DA 2.01. Again, no slider for extreme condition planets!
