Mass Effect 3 is closed right after launch

I played the game already, it was working just fine, then poof: when I launched, it would start to sync the data with the cloud, jump from 5% to 100% (as if skipping all in-between), launch, appear as a a black screen for a second, then close. I mean actually close, cloud synching (equal from launching) and all.

I'm starting to think it was my use of ME3Explorer, which was doing a new scan (DLC included, if that helps) and suddenly found a problem and closed. I've already done these Textree builing scans before, so I don't know what happened. If you're wondering whether I tried to mod MP, the answer is no; I know that wouldn't work out well for me.

I've tried unistalling and reinstalling the game, repairing, and updating it, but none of that works! It certainly isn't hardware problem because I had played the game on the same computer earlier in the day.

    If you disable cloud saving for ME3 does the same thing happen?

    Also I suspect that there may be a corrupted save. You might want to try removing your local saves (make a backup first of course) and then try forcing a sync. The save location is C:\Users\%username%\Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\Save

    It keeps happening. I deleted the saves, now it just opens for a second, black screen, and closes. I tried repairing/updating it again, didn't help. I truly don't know what else I can do.

    Same problem here for the last 3 days, have played for 90hrs+ without issue then out of the blue, nothing.  Chatted to a very slow & patronising rep online after an hour wait, got me to run msexport and dxdiag, told me my computer can run ME3 - (of course it can I told him id pl\ayed for 90+ hours) then sent me a link to a poxy microsoft site that was useless and marked the call resolved. now unable to contact EA because there are no agents available.  

    EA THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE - just look at all the threads on forums all over the web - I suggest you give it some significant resource time!
