Unable to install updates, system hangs
Hi,
I'm trying to fix friends PC, first of all, they were able to start up the PC, then maybe after about a minute or so many clicks of the mouse, no program would open & it needed the on/off button pressed to switch it off.
I took the PC home and managed to backup their files.
I uninstalled a few programs like spotify etc to see if that would help, but it didn't, i'm thinking it was more software/driver???
anyway, i decided to reinstall Win7 HP. 64bit.
wiped the hard drive, reinstalled windows and i'm trying to update windows, where it just hangs on installing.
I left it overnight and it was still on the same update.
could this be a hardware issue??
anybody come across this before?
cheers
just seen a post about posting update instructions, i'll try it when it updates or hangs for hours
