Hey, guys just installed windows 8(just the trail version though)from microsoft.com.While setting up my setting the pc restarted many times which normal but after that when shutted down my computer and turned on again every time there was a black screen and showed no of errors regarding explorer.exe and many other and after swiching offf and on from my power button i ultimately got my start up screen normal.I've installed fifa 13 but it closes as soon as it starts without any error messeage. I am really annoyed and maybe I am going to downgrade to my good old win 7 ultimate .My win 8 build is 9200 and my specs are intel i3 3.1Ghz 4gb DDr2 ram.

Try running the game under compatibility mode for Windows 7/Xp sp3 and try running as admin.
I found this worked for some of the old software I had after having upgraded from w7 to w8.

As to the error messages I am not sure, it sounds like the windows installation wasn't clean. Also make sure you've got the latest graphics driver installed.
