I tried the steps from both of you and they didn't work for me.
I spoke with EA and they said this is a known issue and have been working on it since early January.... My guess is it is an origin issue effecting some users and EA's "best" team will get it sorted in the next half a year or so.
I doubt that this is a Origin issue, the game works just fine for me and Mass Effect Andromeda is out of studio support for years now.
The DxDiag can't identify the BIOS version of your Motherboard, make sure it is the newest available.
Also check for newer driver for all your system components on the MSI website linked above.
- @holger1405 I'll give it a try but I am have the same launching issue with any game on origin.
Try to clear your Origin cache.
All settings in Origin (only in Origin not in the games) are back to default settings after this.)- Close Origin completely.
(right click on the Origin symbol in the task bar > close) - Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
- Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%/Origin" (without quotes) into the new window > hit ENTER
- Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for the "LocalContent" folder.
(The "LocalContent" folder must remain untouched.) - Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
- Type or copy and paste "%AppData%" (without quotes) into the new window > hit ENTER
- Now your Windows explorer should have brought you to your "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Roaming" folder.
- Delete the "Origin" folder inside the "Roaming" folder.
- In the address bar of your Windows explorer click on "AppData".
- Open the "Local" folder.
- Delete the "Origin" folder inside the "Local" folder.
- Restart your PC. > test
If that don't works, look at this guide. to preform a clean uninstall of Origin.
(The games will remain installed.)- Scroll down to "How to uninstall the Origin client the hard way"
- Follow the instructions to the letter.
- reboot.
- Download this version of the "OriginSetup.exe"
- Run the installer as Administrator (Right click the "OriginSetup.exe" > Run as an Administrator) > Test.
- @holger1405 Did not work
- Close Origin completely.
