Mass Effect 3(original game) won't load

So apparently my ME3 game won't load on origin or steam. 

I have the game on both(it being the same), when I try to load it on origin, it will show a steam pop up that then immediately disappears. When I try to load it on origin, it will within two seconds go back to the origin home screen, as if its spinning the wheels. 

I have no idea what the problem is, or how to deal with it. I've tried restarting my computer, and tinkering with task manager. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    This can be caused by antivirus software. Try disabling antivirus for a few minutes. If the game launches, make exceptions for your Mass Effect and Origin folders to fix it permanently.

    Please create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that  with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.

    I have the same issue. Tried everything with the expception of trying this game on another pc with the same account.
    First time the issue was fixed by replacing some files: EaCore and awc.
    Within a week problem resumed. Now nothing helps. Antivirus software suggestion doesn't help as well
