Welcome to the Battlefield 4 Beta Madness!
The beta is now in it's first stages and a lot will happen. ONE thing that will sadly not happen is that everything will go smooth. It's a beta, it's designed to find weak points and bugs so the launch of the real game will go smooth. You cannot expect a beta go smooth and everything to work, even if you payed extra to be in the beta.
You can expect all kind of problems like, beta not appearing, downloading, installing or starting. Servers, Battlelog, Origin etc. might also go down or be unstable.
Now, what you can do is:
-Wait! No reason to post questions about things not working if 1000 others have already done so.
-Search for solutions (using the handy dandy searchfields) on Battlelog and AnswersHQ (trust me, 2000 people had this problem before you did 😉 )
-Look at Twitter, Facebook, Google+. Battlelog and AnswersHQ for status updates from Battlefield
-Wait for EA and Dice people to identify and fix the problems as they occour
-Look at similar BF3 problems - it's the same engine, many solutions will be the same.
-Chillax, all good things come to those who wait 🙂
-Realise that you are not directly contacting EA, if you wanted to contact EA, even after reading all this and also knowing that the wait-time is going to be huge, then use the search bar to see how, there's a gazilion posts where it's mentioned.

Yeah mate i feel ur pain, whats even worse is when u think ur gonna get the 2 days premium "early access" and then u realize you've been **bleep**ed up the ass by EA. Good waste of money that was. I understand bugs when it comes to betas...but dont tease people in with "early access" when they cant access it.

I'm a bit frustrated too. But this is what betas are for. Although to be fair, I've never played a beta that simply doesn't boot up. That seems like a problem you'd have in alpha :/

You haven't waited patiently. I am having the same problem but many others are and they are working to fix it. I know it looks like a repeat of bf3 which i still have a problem getting stuck on loading screen. Play something else while you wait and remember, it is just beta
