Origin acting stupid and refusing to open [Win 8.1]

★ Novice

So title sums it up. Got Origin installed about a year back or so, mostly because free sims 2 + all dlcs was just too good of a deal to pass up. So i go and install in on my win7 tower, runs fine but the pc has a BSOD and since then refuses to bootup. I then decide to download it on my laptop, proceed to forget about it for a year till now. Reinstall it because why not, everything works fine, so on and so forth. I then run it, and for some reason, nothing pops up. Nothing. Nada. Zero...you get the picture. I've tried redownloading, running in admin. mode, win7 compatibility.

 

And that brings up my next question, is Origin even supposed to run on windows 8.1 or is this just a cruel joke?
