    FIXED

    After going through every step, uninstalling manually, running CCleaner, running as admin the problem persisted. By this time I also had succesfully installed SW BF on a laptop, so I knew this was PC related (and not origin/EA).

    I ran a clean boot (through MSConfig) and still the problem was not solved and Origing stopped working, which means it wasn't interference with another program like an antivirus. But i noticed i was running a select booting sequence (afaik i did not manually change this), so I selected the normal startup procedure which loads everything and afterwards Origin worked as normal like the week before.   :D

    So if others have this problem, might want to check THIS (= clean boot)

    Good luck!

Did you follow all steps described here when manually uninstalling Origin?
If not, please do so, in order to prepare a clean new Origin install on your system.

When re-installing Origin, make sure to install the last full release of the Origin client not a beta version.

    Thank you for the fast response! Much appreciated.

    And yes, i uninstalled manually as posted in the link (every step including the registry). And i have downloaded the last origin setup from the site, even the install from the disc gives the same results. 

    The only thing i couldn't do was the first step, as the downloadcache folder in the programdata folder seemed empty, but as it only prevented redownloading games i didn't give it much thought.

    Could the crass be due to heavy server traffic and failure to connect? Before Origin worked fine...
