Your CPU is supporting the AVX instruction set, so you should not need the costume launcher.

  • Repair the game.
    (Origin > Game Library > right click ME3 > Repair / in Steam > right click at MEA > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game cache)
    (Steam > right click at ME3 > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game cache.)

  • Make sure that "Origin in game" and the Steam overly is disabled.
  • Make sure Discord is completely closed.
  • Test.

Excellent! Have fun gaming.

@holger1405 Thanks for responding. Re-verified the integrity of files in Steam, confirmed Steam overlay off in steam and turned off origin in game. Unfortunately no success (using game launcher).
