I had this problem. For days I searched on how to fix it. Every time I reinstalled and installed I would shut off the pc and the same thing happens again.
Finally I realized my ports for Origin were closed. I believe it may have been because of a virus. I ran the malware programs but couldnt get it. I finally succumbed to purchase a program in an attempt to not have to reinstall windows.
I fixed it with a malware program called SpyHunter 4. It also told me my connections where not right and fixed them. Boom Origin works. This is the first time I have ever posted but fealt compelled to do it because of the hours I spent trying to locate a fix that worked.

I have had the same problem for a month. I had EA techs send me two different fixes and they did not work. I also checked my router and security and found nothing. Tried reinstalling and the same thing. Finally today, I use the latest Norton Internet Security, I used a provision in Norton that says Repair Tool. I had never used it but I thought what the hey, nothing else worked. I ran it and it came up with two errors in the registry. It recommended removing one and repairing the other. I ran it and then it said it discovered some problems with Java and I should remove all of the older ones listed in the system. I did, rebooted and walla, my origin login popped up, I logged in and it is working great. I have no idea which of the problems, or if all contributed but Nortons repair tool was a great present. Do not know if any have this but if you do and it is still not working, run the repair tool and I hope it works for you as it did for me.
