Hello. My little laptop friend here had the memory controller die. I sent it to a repair service, and they couldn't fix it well enough to make it stable. The good news is they had another motherboard that fit this model. The bad news is that the original was AMD and the new one is Intel. What exactly they did to SW on the hard disk I don't know. However, when it came back there were two Windows Updates that won't update and give error code 80070490. Now there are 3, because Microsoft is finding more things to update (some others go through just fine). I tried some of the basic fixes mentioned on the Microsoft support site; no change in behavior.
There were a number of CBS_persist .CAB files in the CBS log. They had file names that are obviously date codes. They are very porky, so I had to remove all but the most recent one or the ZIP file violates the site size policy.:thumbsdown2:
