Games work for a while then crashes

[Makalf]

I downloaded Microsoft security essentials. I'm worried if I buy norton anti virus I will still have a problem. Error codes suggested I put in windows DVD n upgrade so I'm currently doing that and waiting for it to finish

You don't have 2 antivirus programs installed do you? You really need to delete Norton ASAP

 

[Makalf]

I only have security essentials installed. Any program u reccomend I install?

Upgrade finished n when windows loaded back up. A Microsoft .Net Framework box opened up mentioning setup has detected .NET Framework version 4 needs to be repaired. Do not restart until setup is complete.

It's been on this setup window for the past 30 minutes

MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) is good and add this temp file cleaner:
http://www.memtest.org/
How are the updates going?

 

[Makalf]

Its going bad. I ended task for the setup. Went and downloaded .NET Framework for site. Ran a repair install and it failed to repair.

 

[Makalf]

Downloaded memtest to my usb and made it bootable. But umm, how do I boot from my usb?

 

[Makalf]

Figured it out. Currently running memtest

I'm afraid that this isn't a memory issue. The update problems point to the "real" issue here. Is your copy of Windows legit?

 

[Makalf]

I assume so, I ordered it from new egg

 

[Tmagic650]

Did it activate properly?

 

[Makalf]

I had a tech store install it for me and they discounted me mentioning a problem with Firefox randomly crashing. He was testing it the morning I picked it up and said it hasn't done it since. He also mentioned that he thinks its the ssd. But according to you it's not. And I think you have a better idea what's going on than that tech store I went too.

I was gonna buy a new ssd from them and they said they would clone my ssd for free.

 

[Tmagic650]

You have a nice system... This may be a simple bios setting. Is the SSD connected to a SATA 3 port and is the SATA controller set as AHCI?

 

[Makalf]

Yes both my ssd and hdd are in sata3 ports and set to AHCI. I just shutdown my computer instead of restarting and now it has my updates installing before shutdown......

 

[Makalf]

But of course nothing ever works, so I'm stuck on update 43 of 89

 

[Tmagic650]

The computer is stuck on 43 after starting to shut down?

 

[Makalf]

It's supposively installing but been on 43 for a long time

 

[Makalf]

I'm wondering if I should hit the restart button on my computer

 

[Makalf]

Manually restarted since it wasn't installing. Booted up with no desktop background n no Internet n eveything looked old fashion so I did a system restore. I give up already, I should just throw this Pc out the window

 

[Tmagic650]

So it may be the SSD after all... It is the C drive, right?

 

[Makalf]

Yes

So get them to replace it, and make sure you run Windows Update completely first thing
