If you run gta5.exe from the game folder- sometimes it may give you exact filename of 'some' files it is having issues with. Those can help point to the media feature pack, directx, vcredists, etc. Then install the appropriate thing containing it. Don't just download 'that file' and put it in the game folder. That is likely to cause more issues in the future with updates, or using wrong files, questionable files, etc.
Otherwise, there are many reasons for the game to have issues.. however, not 'that' many after a format of the drives if google translate is working properly. Some other background programs, clocks/overclocks, bios settings 'could' be an issue but I'd look hard at the software side first. Including clean booting windows, whitelisting/exluding in av/security apps, gpu drivers, onedrive, directx9, vcredists, etc (oh yea ''verify game files' hur dur...) --- but again, I'd doublecheck that N/KN media feature pack first.

This is what I've used to fix this/similar problems 100's of time through the years -

Logs, error codes, crash reports may shed more light as well..

edit - Didn't need to install Pro / redo windows. You had Pro N. Just install the windows optional component - Media Feature Pack - and then reboot/restart the pc (not reformat). Would have taken all of 5 minutes or so. Also, likely needing to be done every future major windows update so - maybe just Pro was a good idea.
Good to hear it is working though. Have fun.
Thanks for your help!
