You probably want to get your Windows fixed before fixing anything else. Windows is the foundation and why build upon a foundation that is falling apart.

What have you done to fix your Windows? Have you run Windows System File Checker after checking the harddrives?

As for the games, what procedure/method did you use for moving the games so they work in the Origin client?

The disk was formatted and windows was reinstalled. SFC /Scannow was run anyway after reviewing system event log.

    For arguments sake 🙂

    C:\Windows\System32>sfc /scannow

    Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

    Beginning verification phase of system scan.
    Verification 100% complete.

    Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

        My account is admin, security policies on all client executables and game executables are set to run elevated.

        I really don't like Origin on my C:\ for security reasons.

        Obviously windows is a fresh install, and Origin had to be installed for the registry keys to be merged.
