Solved Updates of 8/12/14 make pc crash

[gallicbear]

Hi there. Trying to figure out what to do. My work station runs windows 7 64 bit. The latest updates, dated 8/12/14 caused the following: the pc will stay on for a couple of minutes, give or take, then shuts itself off. Which particular update in the batch would cause that? There is no BSOD. Another thing I noticed: When I reboot in the Safe mode, it stops after loading the driver for ATIPCIE and hangs or reboots. I had to restore to a date of 8/10 to be able to work. So once I had a system restore done, I updated my display driver (for an AMD 760G), thinking this was the problem. AMD shows a version 14.4. I had version 6. While it was being installed, it
rebooted without a warning and I had a BSOD. The problem as I see it is: One of the update interferes with the display. My antivirus in MSSuite/Defender. Shy of installing each update separately, what else can be done? Thanks in advance for your tips and help.

Thanks, NoelDP:
These are the updates: kb2976627, kb2976897, 2978668, 2978742, 2982791, 2952664, 2970228, 2980245, 2981580, 2467173, 2937610, 2943357, 2830477.
In an effort to solve this and determine the culprit(s), I have since installed kb2918614 (not listed). It has caused no problems thus far, after about 1 1/4 hour.

KB2830477 is an old one - please Hide that one for the moment

Then do a Check for Updates - you may find that one or two disappear.
KB2976627 has been causing problems for some, and so has KB2979228 - so avoid those for the moment

Thanks, NoelDP for the update. I'll proceed accordingly.

Microsoft recommend that both KB2979228 and KB2982791 are uninstalled pending them being fixed. They are withdrawn from the update patcher.

Blue Screen (Stop 0x50) after applying update KB2982791 to - Microsoft Community

(I suggest starting at page 25 and reading on from then!)

Everything went ok, as long as stayed away from the questionable updates. Thanks, all. Cheers.
