  There are no ME specific errors in your DxDiag.
  
  Try to repair the game.
  
  (Origin: Game Library > Right-click the game cover > Repair)
  (EA app: My Collection > Click on the three dots on the game cover > Repair)
  (Steam: Game Library > Right-click the game > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.)
  
  Then
  
  Make sure EA app and/or Steam are closed.
  
  Go to your "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect" folder and move the "Save" folder and the "Config" folder to your desktop. > Test.
  
  If that don't helps:
  
  1. Hit Windows key and X.
  2. Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” or "Windows Terminal (Administrator)", whichever option is offered.
  3. Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Checkhealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
  4. If errors are found, notify us. If no errors were found reaped steps 1 & 2.
  5. Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
  6. The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here.
  7. After it reaches 100% reaped steps 1 & 2
  8. Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter “sfc /scannow” without quotes > ENTER.
  10. Post the message you receive at the end of the processes here.
