Now I've come across another problem. After trying to install SP1 it bluescreened, so I ran the "things to do before installing sp1" list. retried. SP1 goes all the way through the install and gives me a fail referencing RPC_S_CALL_FAILED(0x800706be). Trying to run the system update readiness again for grins, and it won't even run. It just sits at Installing: 0% forever.
Are you installing SP1 from Windows Update or Microsoft Download Center?
Tried windows update and it blue screened every time I tried it. Then I tried download center and got the fail run.
I'm considering reinstalling windows again if it will allow me to install the SP1... But if it fails, I've wasted more time installing drivers and stuff all over again for no reason.

When you reinstall, I would go ahead and update the drivers, first.
... Fresh install, up to date drivers, still bluescreen.
Upload dumps.
Where did you get your copy of Windows 7 from?
By some miracle... and I'm not sure how. I installed SP1. now I'm waiting to see if a blue screen will show up. For future reference.. Is there anything as far as hardware on my system that need driver updates aside from the motherboard and video card? (inside the case)
