I got a new SSD today, samsung 840 EVO.
I put it in and install windows 7.
Once I do a windows update after a restart it goes to a black screen where I can only see the mouse curser and do task manager.
Why is it doing this? I can't seem to get it working
The error is explorer.exe 0xc0000005

Go into safe mode (F8 during boot) and set back to the restore point that was taken before the updates. If the system runs then, run the updates one by one to find the culprit.
The first time it happened it happened on first restart. The second time it happened was about 30 min into getting stuff like java, drivers, etc..
Is this common with an ssd? I just don't get what would cause it. Did same install to my brothers computer and it went in fine
It has absolutely nothing to do with the SSD. There is a conflict in your OS most likely triggered by one of the updates. And I bet your brother's system is not 100% the same as yours - bit by bit. So you compare apples and oranges.
From post #5
When you start loading drivers like that anything can happen whether a ssd or hard drive.getting stuff like java, drivers, etc.
Seldom do you have to add drivers to Windows 7 on a Clean Install.
Even in safe mode I get the error code and just a black screen with mouse movement
Got the win 7 cd in now. Gonna delete all partitions and start again and do update by update
Take a slow read through these tutorials.

After doing the updates in the first pic, the other 2 pics followed. Any reason why a service pack would fail?
