Unable to run ME Andromeda and Dragon Age 3

Hi,

I have a new computer since several games and have reinstalled the EA app and all my EA games: i'm able to launch all tge games exccept Mass Effect Andromeda and Dragon Age Inquisition (new games work fine and oldest ones also (Dragon Age 1 & 2, Mass Effect 1, 2 &3): i tried a lot of things as reinstall/repair, reboot computer, clar cache, run as admin, in compatibility mode, full screen optimization disabled, tried from a new windows user, check in the firewall that these games are allowed...

So i don't know what to do now to make these games work.. so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I attach the DxDiag.ttx file.

Thanks for yoyr help.

Regards,

    @holger1405 : no that's a problem: i don't have any error message... it would be easier to troubleshoot with an error message..  :-(

    When i click on these games to execute them, a new popup windows is displayed to indicate that the game is being launched, the EA App is minimized for a few seconds and then reappears...

    In the task manager, i see a process for the game for a very short time and then it disappears... but absolutely no error message...

    And in the Event Viewer, i don't see any error or event related to these executions...

    @HaveFun1975 

    Do you get any error messages.

    What exactly happens if you start the games? Do they not start at all or do they crash?

    Hi @holger1405 ,

    Thanks for your help so i tried a clean boot (deactivation of all NON Windows services except "EABackgroundService") and i have the same issue.

    Then I also disabled my antivirus and Windows Defender and same issue...

    And finally I configured new rules in the firewall to accept everything from these 2 programs and same issue...

    There is no error report data about the games in the DxDiag.

    Please preform a clean boot and test the Games in clean boot mode.

    In clean boot:
    - Make sure the "EABackgroundService" remains enabled under point 3 in the guide.
    - Make sure your virus scanner and other security software and also Afterburner and similar software is disabled.
    - Make sure any CORSAIR/Asus/Razer software is disable or deinstalled and that your GPU & CPU are not overclocked.
    - Make sure only your Mouse and keyboard are connected to the PC
