First of all, I'm so incredibly disappointed with ME3.  EA has officially destroyed this series.  They tried really hard in ME2, but didn't quite make it.  They succeeded in ME3.  I'm not even talking about the terrible ending.  I'm talking about how unstable and unusable Origin is.

First off, before it destroyed my PC by messing with my registry, ME3 successfully started 60% of the time I tried to launch it.  Once it was finally launched, it crashed 1-2 times for every 5 hours of playing it.  Since Origin is a rootkit, many times when it crashed, I couldn't simply cntrl+alt+del out of it like I could ME2 and ME1.  No, instead I'd have to hard restart my computer.  

Now, it finally took that behavior to it's logical conclusion.  It played with my registry (or perhaps Avast did trying to stop Origin from doing whatever it is EA decided it needed to do) and I cannot successfully start windows on my PC anymore.

I'm not even sure what the next step is now.  I cannot start my computer.  Whenever, I either get told that there is a registry error which prevents windows from checking if my license is valid, or it just restarts once it gets past the login screen.  Better yet, a computer that used to take about 20 seconds to start now tries to load windows for 3 minutes before failing.  All thanks to Origin.

Great job, EA.  And great job Bioware for letting this company dictate how you would sell and distribute your product.  Instead of ending a trilogy with a bang, you sold your soul for an extra buck and disenfranchised many of your fans, including me.  The promise of ME was a lie.  I'm never going to get to know how my shepards would experience ME3 because I'm going to lose all my save files reinstalling windows on my computer.  Thank you.

Hi,

You can try some of these in Safe Mode - repeatedly tap F8 as you boot.

If you do not have a Windows 7 disk you can borrow a friends as they are not copy
protected. Your System maker will also sell the physical DVD cheap since you already
own Windows. Also you can make a repair disk on another computer.

Try Startup Repair - (If at ANY point you gain some but not full access to Windows come
back and try Startup Repair again.)

Avast is an AWFUL program. That's your first mistake, likely the PC crashed because of it altering something on your computer in error.

[Paladin Stem]

While I'll agree Origin still has problems; You seam to be blaming it for quite a bit more than it really does.

Jeffonl1 has good repair steps to take if that doesn't work try posting the issue on Microsoft's support forums for Windows with details of the errors you are receiving.

Edit: I use Avast! on my computers and have little issues with it but if you think it is the problem you can contact their support or try a diffrent AV in the future.

Get a better AV program.

I run Microsoft Security Essentials because it works and doesn't have the crippled and resource hogging factors. Origin is not a rootkit, likely there's something on your end- post your specs.

Origin is imperfect...they could learn more from likes of Steam, really.

But destroying your PC? Wait a minute, you sure about that? I use Kaspersky IS 2012 and it's about the most heavy-handed, nanny-state one of its kind available (in light of the dangerous state of the cyberstate, that actually a good thing, if not an evil necessity), and my PC is still up strong. Think you need to check on other stuff.

 Like what? Norton? Avast is one of the best, and its free. Ive used it without a single issue, or virus and i run multiple programs and AV's just in case.
 Origin is a cpu hog, just disable it in game through its settings and it should stop being an annoyance and it should also free up your power. I wouldnt blame a program for ruining your computer, maybe blame a possible virus you could have...

Blaming the destruction of your computer to a single program.... Seems a bit heavy.
But nuculerman has a point:
I bought two games on Steam and was dissapointed when I couldn't play a game when Steam had technical difficulties. So, on purpose I bought a physical copy of ME3, only to find out you can only run the game through Origin. I may be old fashioned, but I prefer the disc over internet.
If the game crashes, it's either your computer or a bug in the game. Now I have to consider a third party or a faulty connection. I don't like where this is going...

I actually stumbled on this post after googling "is EA destroying the PC". I bought ME3 (on disc, not download) and had to download and install an installer (Origin) to install the game. Sounds confusing and stupid doesn't it, well done EA! Now I really understand why people pirate PC games. I suspect that if I had a pirated version of ME3 it would launch in a few seconds rather than a minute or two and while I don't know about it messing with Windows registry I think any DRM that requires me to use extra hardware resources and wait 60 secs or more to *start* loading a game is going to make more PC users pirate rather than buy a game.

[Woffen5]

Ive never had any trouble with avast. Origin or no origin.
