@holger1405 re-installed the the files but still getting the same issue. For the heck of it I uninstalled and re-installed Origin on D: but that didn't fix it. The game is stubborn, I'll give it that.

@swvenom37 

Please look at this post and try the game in Save boot mode.

@Firealkon 

Try to 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.)

Please check your PMs.

    @holger1405 Good news. I was able to launch all three games in safe mode. Obviously not playable in that state but progress. I'm going to completely re-install the vid drivers again. This time completely remove everything and have a fresh install. If that doesn't work, I'll try my sound card. Several people mentioned issues with onboard audio and I have a spare dedicated Soundblaster sound card lying around so I'll try that instead of the current onboard setup and see if I have any success. I'll keep you updated. Thanks.
