    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.

    Download SPTD standalone installer from Disk-Tools.com, and execute the downloaded file as guided below :
    • Double click to open it.
    • Click this button only:
    • If it is grayed out, as in the picture, there is no more SPTD in your system, and you just close the window.
