You have tried all of the things that EA told you to try doesn't tell the rest of us what you have actually done. There are only two things I can offer then, which you have possibly already tried so I'm sorry if this is duplicating what has already been suggested.
-- In between uninstalling and reinstalling the entire game, the Windows Registry must be cleaned right at that point so that remnants of the prior install do not get in the way of the new one. We advise most to use Piriform's CCleaner (the free version is fine) to do so.
