I've recently tried to install Origin on my PC again but my PC keeps freezing once I get to the point where it asks me to run the EA Update Tool. As this happens, I have to force my PC to shut down by holding down the power button. After my PC boots up again and I try to open the Origin client my PC freezes and I have to force shutdown again. I tried to uninstall Origin via the control panel but that also froze my PC. I then managed to manually uninstall Origin using this article ( http://help.ea.com/en/article/manually-uninstalling-origin/ ) and CCleaner. After that I re-installed Origin and the issue still occurs.

Is there any surefire way of fixing this issue?
