    Crashed in the middle of windows update.

    Woua, could it be one of the updates? I've had no crashes whatsoever in 3 hours, i installed updates and it is crashing like before ...

    I restored windows. I'm going to install the updates one by one to see if I can isolate the pb

    Edit: every time i try use windows update, the pc bsods after it begins installing updates. When U restore it, the pb is gone and no more crashes.

    What to do?

    I tried to isolate the pb but it happens even when i update office.

    Lol

    Everything else is up and running, stable and all.

    Installing the updates one by one seems to solve the problem

    Glad to hear that.
    A lot of times a clean install will work wonders.

    Hope it stays stable.

    Let us know if you have any more crashes, if no crashes after 5-7 days let us know so we can mark this thread solved.

    No dice, it's crashing again like before, 15 to 20 times a day.

    The only drivers installed are Intel RST, Intel LAN and intel chipset software. It started crashing when I installed the first windows updates (not offices', which seemed to be working).

    I'm trying a fresh install one more time, without RST.

    I'm getting the new MB today (same model), should I try replacing it?

    Yeah I've been posting a lot :) can't live without guys lol I apologize, but it is really frustrating to have a new built and not being able to use it

    Edit: Weird, I didn't install anything and I've been stable for at least 5 hours and folding on everything, 3 VGAs and CPU ..... No crashes whatsoever

    So install things one at a time and wait to see if it crashes. Dont install them all at once in a rush to get back to gaming

    Good advice zigzag.

    yannickhk, be sure to make a System Restore Point before installing anything, for each item. If it crashes you can go back to before the last installation.

    Ok, i did install every thing one by one, turns out that it had nothing to do with it. It started crashing again so I re-installed for like the 19th time I think :) and it started crashing immediately after windows was done, so re-install again, this time I was able to install some drivers, critical updates, even folded for 4-5 hours before the first BSOD. It took then 10 or 12 reboot to be able to get into windows again. 2 hours stable and bam, BSOD again.

    At this point I really think that it is a hardware problem. I'm getting a brand new board tomorrow morning (ASUS hotline said I should RMA), emptying my loop AGAIN and see if that does the trick. If it doesn't, I'm getting a macbookair and never build a pc in my life again lol

    Hope the new motherboard will solve the crashes.

    Let us know the results.

    On the positive side, you now know a lot about troubleshooting.
