DOOM is one of the few games I play when I have free time. I played DOOM 2016 just fine but DOOM Eternal on Steam will not load for me at all. I have 16 minutes play time without seeing the title screen at all. I can play GTA V and other such games on Steam just fine but DOOM Eternal won't even load.

What do I need to upgrade on my PC to play it?

Thank you, I will check that out. What I don't get is that I moved all my games to the HDD well over a year ago and haven't had any issues. I have played a few games since then, it's just this one game that is troublesome. It opens like it wants to run but immediately quits. I have never once seen the title screen or anything for this game. It's very odd.

Sounds like other issues are at play, but going SSD is something that is easy cheap (relatively) and - if (when) you upgrade your entire system it does not become trash. I have an M5 A97 1.0 sitting in a drawer here, by the way. Loved that board, real solid. Initially ran a 555 and then got a 955. Ran both at insane OC's with no problems. Would probably still be using it but knocked a capacitor off rearranging things and had to retire it around the time Bulldozers cam along and went with an open box Sabertooth that I still use as my W7 Game/Architectural program rig. My daily driver is an A10 7860k - Ubuntu OS. Almost upgraded last year, and when I ordered the parts, the mobo was months out, so I sent the DDR4 and Ryzen CPU back. This one is still chugging along just fine for all office/internet/home media tasks anyawys, just wanted something new I guess. I pumped that $ into a couple of NVME SSDs and it was a nice upgrade. Browsing folders with thousand of files , the thumb appears pretty much instantly- music etc browsing is smooth as butter.
