There's not enough data in the CBS log to be able to diagnose the problem there - but if you're getting Memory problems, then those must be dealt with first, as they could corrupt anything else we do.
Do you have the knowledge to deal with this yourself, or do you need instructions?
I had a feeling it was hardware, as in my OP, just been a few frustrating days
I'm fine for repairs, built a few PC's before and installed windows loads of times, i'll be fine
just frustration that this install has been the worst lol
ordered 1 stick, as it's not my PC to just go out and get decent RAM (and the folk can't afford much), i'll swap 1 out, try the memory test, see what it says, if it's not good, i'll swap the other out.
ordered a HDD off of an amazon voucher we had, so if the HDD playing up i'll maybe swap it out as well
thanks for all the help from all who replied, i'll not solve this thread just yet until this stick arrives.
:)
Just an update
faulty stick of RAM taken out, MS memory test running fine and updates have all installed like it should be.
Cheers for all the help with this issue.
i've been trying to install the updates for 3 days now and i'm absolutely devastated. installed 104 then 4, now another 57 but some of them won't work. feel like i could cry.
How many updates to install? Install only a few at a time. Or even only 1 every time. Which patches are really not-installable?
these one don't install
internet explorer update
