I'm facing a frustrating issue where my PC crashes to a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) every time I try to run the game FC25, which uses Javelin anti-cheat. The only way to temporarily fix this seems to be repairing Windows, which takes about 45 minutes, and then I can only play once before it crashes again. Here are my specs: I have an i5 14400f processor, 16 GB of RAM, an RTX 3050 graphics card, and I'm running the latest version of Windows 11, including the update with the 3060. I've also collected a minidump file that might help diagnose the issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like the kernel-level anti-cheat is causing these BSOD issues again. It's pretty common for these anti-cheat systems to interfere with certain hardware configurations. I suggest reaching out to the customer support for the game; they might have specific fixes or updates.
Also, if you're comfortable with it, you should try looking at the dump files to get more insight. It could help pinpoint the exact cause!
To get a better idea of what's causing the BSOD, you'll want to gather those dump files from your system. If you can boot into Windows normally or in Safe Mode, head over to C:WindowsMinidump and see if there are any files there. Zip them up and upload them to a file-sharing service.
Having multiple dump files can really help with diagnosing the problem, so make sure to check! Follow this guide to change your dump settings if you haven't done that yet: [guide link].
I uninstalled 360 total security recently and noticed that the game launched without crashing—could that have been the culprit?
