Windows 7: BSOD shortly after startup

animebop · 04 Oct 2013

Every time I start outside of safe mode, my computer BSOD within a minute. This started happening shortly after I started playing NBA 2k14 with my wireless xbox controller.

Microsoft Security Essentials & the Free version of Malwarebytes, update and make full scans separately:
