Problems with Windows 7 and re-installation
Hi,
So, I built my first pc on thursday night. Loaded Windows 7, Mobo drivers, and GPU drivers.
Last night I was installing all of my programs. Got everything I needed and the last thing before starting to put all my games on there was find drivers for my printer. I got through my printer install until about 98% and it failed. It told me I needed to update Windows. Windows said I had 2 critical updates and about 50 not so critical updates. I thought what the hell and set it for all the updates.
I went to sleep and woke up this morning seeing that it said "installing update 57 of 57." I figured it got stuck there but made it through the updates, so I shut down the computer. After about 20 minutes of updating all of the programs it finally shut down. I turned it back on and it had to intall the 63000! updated files. Now twice I've tried to do this and both times it ends up at a black screen.
Windows startup recovery ends up just going to black screen too. It worked once, but it just stayed on the same screen for over an hour. So, I figure what the hell, I'll just reinstall Windows. Now on the reinstall, after I click Install Now, I always get stuck on "Setup is Starting." Also when I try to fix from the disc, I just get put on the blue background screen with a working mouse cursor.
Anybody have any experience with this? I could use some help.
Thanks.
