Battlefield 3 Steam version wont launch

Hi, so I saw that this problem is pretty common among playing in steam and I searched threads for hours looking for a solution.

After hours of reinstalling the game/Updating drivers and checking 4 browsers + repairing and validating files, I still not able to play the game.

Please I someone has a solution do suggest and for the mods please dont move this question to old threads because most of the solutions didnt work for me.

Many thanks

    Are you seeing an error message @BliTZzZ_BF1?

    Can you ensure that you anti-virus is not blocking the game, you can disable it to test.

    Something to add I am using Firefox and when I am trying to launch BF3 from browser or from steam and origin I can see only OriginWebHelperService process running but nothing other than that.

    But If I try to open BF3 after restarting my PC I also see some of Punkbuster process running but nothing other than that.
