Backup fails; Restore fails; Update fails and More; Like Groundhog Day
Here are the problems I'm trying (and failing) to fix. Not sure what the root cause is.
Windows Update fails with a message Microsoft can't explain
Windows Backup fails every night, cannot be accessed
Outlook 2010 shuts down every couple of minutes, has to be restarted
IE 11 stops and restarts every few minutes
Recovery can't restore at least 3 previous restore points, volume shadow copy times out
Windows won't shut down or restart except physically using hardware
Install Windows from DVD with updates ran for 12 hours without finishing
Install Windows from DVD without updates won't work because the installed version is newer than DVD version
Boot from DVD won't work because the keyboard is inoperable until Windows loads
Cannot change boot order, or enter into BIOS, because keyboard is inoperable until Windows loads
SFC won't run because Volume Shadow Copy fails
The last good backup is back in mid March, getting old fast
Neither MS Security Essentials or Mal Software removal tool found any malware on the machine
Desktop computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on a quad core AMD with 12 GB of memory and 1,3 TBytes free on C: drive
I could use suggestions for a fix, thanks.
