Priority: Eden Prime endless loading screen

I'm running the PC Steam version of Mass Effect 3 Legendary Edition without any mods installed. I finished Priority:Palaven and a bunch of side quests and resource/artifact collection, with no issues...

    Yeah, I thought that might be the case.
    Try the steam repair one more time:

    If that don't helps:

    • Press the Windows key and "X" at the same time.
    • Choose "command prompt (Administrator)" or "Power shell (Administrator)"
    • At the prompt, copy and paste "chkdsk x: /f /r" (Without the quotes, change x to the drive letter of the drive Mass Effect is installed on.) > ENTER.
    • Choose "Y" at the dialogue if you are promoted to restart the PC > Restart the machine.
    • Here is a guide on how to find the Chkdsk log after you are back in Windows.

@holger1405Thank you!! Your suggestion worked! After running chkdsk, Steam showed some corrupted files, and it took a few attempts to repair them all. I was able to land on the Citadel and complete the Citadel DLC. I still haven't tried Eden Prime yet, but I hope it would work now.
