Problems installing updates for Vista x64 Ultimate

[necro]

Please help! I have had problems installing several updates for Vista x64 Ultimate. I installed kb937287, kb943302, kb943899, kb964041 updates successfully, but when I restart they still appear in Windows Update list. I tried installing .Net 3.5 sp1 update kb951847, but it fails with error code 57.

Also, when Vista loads it gets a blue screen with either 0x0000007E or 0x000000A error codes. It takes several attempts to get Vista loaded. I tried a bunch of fixes, but none of them worked. I tried loading the System Readiness Tool, but I can not locate the file to run it. I tried loading several updates realted to those errors, but I get a mesage saying the they don't apply to my system.

First try re-register Windows Update How do I reset Windows Update components?

Possibly two troubles have any common...navigate to folder C:\Windows\Minidump find all *.dmp files,pack them and attache to post

Ok, I tried to re-register Windows Update by following the instructions, but I got an error 5 access denied.

I also attached the dump files.

What?How did you that? Manually in cmd.exe without elevating?You have to run this MS Autodiagnostic,click on the picture (attached image) and follow to instructions of this autodiagnostic -nothing more

If you did everythning well and you have this error this means

-you have seriously trouble with permissions in the system
-you lost administrator rights
-you are not administrator and you never been

Are you administrator of this computer or not?

 

[Flavius]

I diagnosed your dump files - you have seriously trouble with your hardware -I'm not good in this field - maybe someone with more experience in hardware help you

 

[necro]

Sorry, I did choose do try the fix manually. I just did the autodiag. what now? How do Icheck if it has been reset?

I am the only user on this machine. I should have administator rights.

Can you specify the hardware problems? Is it memory, HDD, or something else? I do have issues with my hard drives. The WD drives have bad sectors. I haven't had a chance to replace them yet. I just want to be sure they are the problem. I don't want to buy new drives and go through the same thing all over again.

You have to diagnose also your motherboard and PSU.First you have to resolve your hardware issue,untill BSODs appear there is no worth to update or installing anything.

Also, I get a blue screen when I open either DVD drive in my system. I have a Lite-On LH-20AL DVD-RW and a LG Blue-Ray/HD DVD-RW GGC-H20L.

You could open up dxdiag, check if BIOS info is listed then flash the BIOS.

 

[necro]

I downloaded and installed the latest updates from the manufacturer of the motherboard. The Award Bios is v6.00pg. IDK if there is a more current update than that. The power supply is 1000W that came with the case and has only been used with this setup. All the cbles are plugged in properly and working.

after analyzing your dump files, I found that this link will help u

You randomly receive a "Stop 0x0000000A" error in Storport.sys when you start Windows Vista

 

[necro]

I tried that and got a message saying "This update does not apply to your system". I have tried several updates that have said the same thing. BTW, I do always make sure I use the 64-bit versions of the updates.

 

[delphin]

what is your ram size. If it is more than 4 gig remove some sticks and make it below 4 gig. And try to update. Check whether the bluescreen is still there with 4 gig ram.

Also flashing your bios with latest verson is a good idea

This links will help u to flash your bios with p31 verson and p32 versons

680i SLI - P32 BIOS Released

Download Evga nForce 680i SLI 775 Bios P31 Driver for Windows 9X/ME/NT/2K/XP/2003/Vista/XP X64/2008 - Softpedia

Originally I had it fully populated with 8GB, or four sticks 0f 2GB. Now, I have it down to two stick of 2 GB, or 4GB total. I have some memory left over from another computer that I cah throw in. It's two 1GB sticks, which will drop me down to 2gigs total.

I already downloaded the P33 Bios update from the EVGA site.

 

[delphin]

Make it as 4 gig with two ram sticks.

Have you updated your flash with p32?

 

[necro]

I took it down to two gigs and I already flashed thwe bios with P33 a while back. Do I need to downgrade the Bios to solve my problems?

Was your problem started after upgraded the bios?
If so, Downgrade it to p32.

Are u still getting bsod after removing the 4 gig?

 

[necro]

I problem started before I upgraded the bios. I upgraded thinking it would help but it didn't.

Going to 2 gigs helped a little. I don't get the bsod as often, but I do still get it.

Hello necro,
I would leave the Bios alone, if you keep messing with it sooner or later you will end up with a paper weight instead of a PC.
To find the cause of the BSOD you need to start disconnecting things, (to eliminate a hardware error), i would start with one of your DVD drives.
Use two Gig of ram for now until your system stabilises.
Go to the WD site and download HDD testing software and run it.
When you have done all this, post your results.
Good luck.
