What do you expect to see? I'd like to see the game load.

Last week, this would happen sometimes, but I was able to get the game to load. It looks like I got a Windows update & a Madden update and now it won't load at all. I've tried through the EA launcher & through Steam. I've tried closing all programs and nothing has worked yet. With the introduction of Steam & EA apps, I need some help in gathering data which could be helpful to you. At this point, I don't know where to start checking. 

  • Update 2. Nvidia drivers were the latest; however, when I went to run the Nvidia App, it would not load. I reinstalled it, and then reinstalled the latest drivers. My PC rebooted. I downloaded the Nov 12 drivers and rebooted & the game now loads.

  • Update: Reinstalled EA Launcher & Steam. Rebooted using system configuration with minimum services. Still reboots the PC about 15-30 seconds after it reaches the splash screen (small one, not the game screen). Removing steam re-installed Madden as well.
