BSOD within minutes of startup
My brother has recently run into a BSOD on his computer and I've been trying to assist. The issue happens within a few minutes of starting up the computer. It may be related to internet access, as using a web browser seems to speed up the arrival of the crash.
He says that the issue started while playing FIFA 13, and it was soon after a new update to the game.
Going into msconfig and disabling all non-windows services seems to have drastically increased the time that the computer can run properly before it hits the BSOD, but the problem persists.
