Recently my copy of GTA V decided to stop working. The launcher goes straight to a black screen after loading for a few minutes. I haven't been able to play since. This is what happens:
Specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU
Memory: 12GB
64 Bit
Graphics Card: Nvidia Quadro 2000D
I realize these parts are a million years old, but the game worked before so I'm sure that they are not the problem.
I have the copy on steam

It's hard to say what's causing this issue, but from a few searches on Rockstar's GTA V forum I see that there's a pattern to this issue:
Find and delete/rename the folder called "Rockstar Games" inside of C:UsersusernameAppDataLocal
It seems that deleting the game does not fully clean out this folder. Most of the suggestions to this fix mentions to delete the Rockstar Games folder, but renaming it (Highlight folder and press F2) should fix it as well. The only problem is that I do not have any information as to what's saved/lost when that folder gets recreated. Because of this, I highly suggest renaming the folder and then trying to start the game again. In the event there's anything important missing, you can move items from the old "renamed" folder over to the freshly created one to fix.

Steam's install once you have played the game is not properly creating that folder structure. Full system wipe, install steam, directx, c++ drivers, windows folder path disabled, firewall restrictions, gta5launcher.exe admin access,game run, this creates the GTA5 folder, but does not create a folder under this based on whatever it is they use to make it originally. drop the savegame folders in there and it goes from being just a black screen, to changing images and an infinite load icon. Game still doesnt load and zero support from Steam AND Rockstar, big surprise there..My advice, dont spend a penny with either company.
