Did the latest patch update break the game?

I have been having issues all day with the patch update. When it gets to 8% it crashes (and has bluescreened my pc several times). I went through and checked for system and driver updates but there was nothing. File locations are all right, as well.
So.. is anyone else having issues with downloading the new patch?

I cannot load EA application without it trying to install the patch and the only way I get it to stop auto downloading is by crashing the app, uninstalling, and reinstalling.

 I would super appreciate any and all help with this. I have been really distraught because I have spent the last three or four days working on a big high school build.. was planning to finish it up and upload it today and Bam! game is borked! T_T
