Win7 Ultimate 32bit Reformat, Windows update stalling
Hi Guys,
Was given an old(ish) netbook by my brother as it had become unusable;
Packard Bell dot s
Atom N570 1.6GHZ
1GIG single channel DDR3
OEM Windows starter 32bit
(Can provide any other specs/info if needed)
I'm on my third format now, everything works fine until after I install the SP1 update (manually by downloading direct from MS site). Win Update then populates 190 or so important updates, I get up to around 140 then update stalls and the computer freezes/crashes making anything but another format impossible. I don't think its any specific update as I've been noting them an unchecking on the next try.
Am I wasting my time here trying to install ultimate? Pretty hard to provide logs or tech info as the comp pretty much bricks when update stalls.
Many Thanks
EDIT: Just read your clean install guide, never knew about the ! on the shutdown. I'll try this and come back with results. Sorry for posting above without researching first.
