Cannot launch BF3 multiplayer. Help? (PC)

Everytime I sign in to battlelog, I often head straight to 'Quick Match' the process of joining a game via 'Quick Match' is impossible. I head to server browser, I join a server, only to find a message saying; "Loading Error, Something Went Wrong". Everytime, I previously played the multiplayer for only 4 minutes, then I got kicked out. I can't even join empty servers! This is making me aggravated more and more. I have every DLC, downloaded the latest patch. Still nothing. I can launch the campaign and the co-op just fine, but the multiplayer doesn't seem to launch.

Here are my specs:  

Operating System: Windows 8 64-bit (6.2, Build 9200) (9200.win8_gdr.121119-1606)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)

Please contact me *******

    Hi nau5feratu!

    It could be several reasons; I try to give you several steps which might help to solve your problem. Please keep in mind that Battlefield3 is actually not supporting Windows 8. All provided workarounds are for Windows 7. The only tip I can give for Windows 8 is that a lot of graphic drivers can cause trouble in Windows 8. Try newest or beta state of your graphic driver.

    At first, please check your latest video-card driver and check what version of the origin client is installed on your computer. Install the newest driver for your video card.

    Right click in Origin under "my games" on the Battlefield3 icon and choose "Repair".

    Login under http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/gate/ and launch the game from the browser. If it start right from the battlelog, you should deinstall the Origin client, install the newest client as administrator You find the actual version of origin here: www.origin.com/download. Reinstall Battlefield and try to start it again.

    You should check the following ports on your router:

    TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-20100, 22990, 17502, 42127
    UDP: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300

    For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer

    Cheers
