  1. Can't update PC


    When trying to install Windows update, my PC will begin installation then proceed to be "checking for updates" forever. I've tried unplugging all external storage devices, restarting the PC,and troubleshooter. The troubleshooter won't work either and also just sits loading forever. I've also made sure that all my drivers are up to date, I have an internet connection, the PC does have up to date hardware, and I have enough space on my c: drive for the update.

    :)

  2. PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Can't update PC :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
