I had purchased Mass Effect Three, and installed the Origin platform, which I'd never used before, to play the game. Under two hours later, I demanded a refund for that garbage, which I received, and then attempted to uninstall the Origin base program immediately. I had a rather small hard drive at that time, and space was at a premium for me. During the uninstall, the laptop died.
Up until that time, the device had only one other issue, and that was that it overheated once about a year earlier. The tech that looked over the dead laptop said the motherboard seemed to have failed. Do I have actual proof that Origin removal was the culprit? Nothing that I could swear to in a court of law. If I remember right, this happened in early March of two thousand and twelve, and is not likely something I'll ever forget. I really liked that laptop, and though I have a bigger and better machine now, not a day passes that I don't miss it.
