This is a Windows 7 PC. The original HDD was acting up so I swapped it with another HDD that I had previously put a Windows 7 image on and also SP1 & the basic drivers. This got me going. Then I put on a few basic programs while Windows was doing it looking for updates for 2 days.
I finally ran the WindowsUpdateDiagnostic & it corrected one error. Then I did a restart.
Installed KB3102819 & restarted.
Installed KB3177467 & restarted.
Installed KB3125574 Convenience Rollup Pkg that was on my EHD.
I walked away & came back about a half hour later & there were 167 recommended updates to install & 111 optional.
I proceeded to install the recommended ones & walked away figuring this would take some time. Came back about an hour later & the computer was searching for updates. This was puzzling because I had already clicked on to install a bunch of updates.
I let it search for another hour or two. Eventually I checked the list of upgrades that were installed & it said KB3125574, the Rollup pkg, was installed. I looked & still had IE8 so I knew updates were not installed. I restarted the PC thinking maybe this would complete the install. When it came back on it said there were 133 updates to install. This took at least an hour.
After it did its 133 updates the boot process hung up on the "Starting Windows" screen & eventually got the BSOD.
Then a black screen came up with two choices: Launch Startup repairs (Recommended), which I did. The other option was Launch normally.
Next screen said The computer was unable to start & is checking for problems.
Then another window said: Startup Repair, do you want to restore your computer using system restore. I clicked yes (or OK).
Eventually another screen came up saying "Cannot repair computer automatically". It also asked if I wanted to send the information somewhere but I don't recall the details. I said yes.
I restarted the PC & got the same black screen asking if I wanted to Launch Startup Repair. I clicked on it.
Here I sit at 4:30 am with a computer that won't start after installing the highly recommended Convenience Rollup Pkg.'
Any suggestions what to do?
