Yeah Microsoft list as important updates KB2952664, KB3035583, KB3123862 for windows 7 when all they do is install nag software and try and push you towards windows 10.
I have come to the conclusion that the name is faulty or the motherboard is, doubt caused by dust as now booting up fine now I put back the original memory. Was starting to effect Linux too so felt good time to stop trying On 18.02.2016 21:29, Peter Simmonds wrote: > Hi All, > > Maybe jumping the gun a little (again). Apparently m$ has made the update to windows 10 a "recommended"update (It's been on the radio). I had a computer in similar condition (just the gaming rig) It would boot one time out of 2; first time telling me I would need to reboot the computer to apply updates, the second time after applying updates for 3 hours deciding it couldn't apply updates and would then reboot back into the desktop. Pretty impressive performance from an 8 core 4ghz 8gb machine! Disabling automatic updates solved the problem immediately. > > With regards to the RAM, sorry I missed that email and made an educated guess. > > I'll read the rest of the emails now that I have uploaded my current train of thought, and apologies again for using the Win**** word. > > Cheers, > > Peter > > On 17/02/2016 19:11, j.vi...@snap.net.nz wrote: > >> Tried safe mode and it gets up to pnp drivers and then freezes, >> >> Repair mode downloads files and freezes and normal boot just stays at message "Starting Windows" >> >> On 17.02.2016 09:42, Bryce Stenberg wrote: >> >>> Does windows boot in safe mode?
