Unable to start game at all

I have Windows 10, I9900, RTX 280 TI, 32GB Ram, nothing ovevrclocked. I’ve disabled everything but steam in the systray, all drivers are updated. Windows is fully up to date, all xbox services running and updated. When i launch the game i get to the press any key screen. Once i hit a key i get the screen with the flight and setup options. If i chose any flight or training it starts to load the blue bar. Once the blue bar gets to about 9/10 complete the music stutters a bit then boom, straight to desktop. No error message at all. I haven’t been able to play 1 second in 5 days. I reinstalled 4 times, redownloaded everything 4 times. Does anyone have any suggestions? I literally have EVERYHTING off in the systray, even antivirus is shut down. I have over 500 games in my Steam library and this is the only one that wont play…

This is all i get in Event Viewer, and the FastLoad location is named that way because its a 256GB NVME drive just for games. Only thing on it is literally FS2020.

I am sure others have game installed on D or other drive and no issues. How hard would it be to move to C drive? Reason I ask, the other day I was trying to install .msi program from D drive. If never would start. On a whim I moved it to C, and it went on system right away. Your hardware looks good, assuming SSD is plugged into 3.0-3.1 USB port, if not anything slower could be culprit. Make sure. And as one thing, had USB HDD which would never open when I plugged it in, deleted all the USB ports and let windows find them all again on restart, drive worked, so USB drivers get messed up once in while. Post this bug on Zendesk as well, believe on this one you will get some help.

I actually just resolved it myself. I feel kinda stupid on this one but it’s my fault. I disabled Afterburner but forgot to turn off the profile that OC the RTX 2080ti. I have it watercooled so it never got hot and i never worried about it. Even with Afterburner unloaded it was still overclocked. Once I set it back to factory it loaded and i completed my first flight!
