Absolute Frustration New Install Win 7 Pro x64
New PC - Win 7 Pro x64 - Clean install EACH TIME (x4 now)
After about two hours after a new, clean install, Services begin shutting down... Greying out... I cannot turn them on... (Firewall, DHCP, Windows Service Center, etc)
I cannot access my gateway modem (internet works though although through a dial-up configuration, wireless OK)...
I have tried TWO different Windows installation discs (yes they're both legit)... No difference - the above happens each time...
I have contacted vendors, researched until I am blue, tried EVERY suggestion I have found on the internet... registry edits, permission edits, command line instructions, programs and utilities...
I have tested the HDD... as I said brand new and passes 100% each time... I have ran malware, virus, spyware tests Nothing found...
I need some help.... can someone provide some guidance??? From my research this seems to be a VERY common problem, but NO ONE has an answer. It even seems that MS does not know.....
HELP!!!!!!!
