How was the exact error massage?
Did you installed Origin from the disk or did you downloaded the Origin client?
If the first then the Origin version is outdated. Try this version.

Only 1 Origin account, I did have it downloaded but the game kept on freezing after I did the Cerberus Coup Mission, not just once, or twice, but every single time I played it. I repaired it, uninstalled it and reinstalled it multiple times, went to a different save and the same thing happens. So I went to eBay, bought Mass Effect 3 on disc so I could get past that part and finally bet the game, and like I said before, the installed failed and thinks the activation code is invalid.
The game is bound to Origin, so it wouldn't install to a different place or in a different way.
Meaning, you still would have the same files at the same place after a disk installation as after a Origin installation.
Lets concentrate on resolving the error that prevents ME3 from running.
- Repair the game once again and start it up for one time.
Create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply.
Also go to your Reliability monitor > Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time and copy and paste or type "perfmon /rel" (without the quotes) in the new Window > hit “ENTER” and look if it has entries for the "MassEffect3.exe" or for the "Origin.exe".
If yes double click at the last entry for the game executable, copy the info to the clipboard, and save it to a text file.You can attach the DxDiag text file you created (and the “Reliability monitor” text file as well) to your post in the “Reply” window with the “Choose File” button.
