    Cannot install Driver updates or Windows update


    I haven't been able to install Windows updates for quite a while. Attempting to do so usually results in a crash on restart followed by a recovery. I went as far as trying to reset my pc but that failed as well. Finally, even writing a repair disk onto a usb didn't work, as that corrupted as well, multiple times on multiple drives.

    :)

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
