[SOLVED] Windows 7 Ultimate x64 will not update to sp1

[Artanis]

I have been at this for weeks now. I just happen to stubble across this forum and followed instructions.
I have wiped and reinstalled my windows multiple times and on various different Hard drives.
I have never had this issue before using the same software and hardware.
Windows updates always worked but not now and I'm at wits end trying to fix it


I ran the tool SFCFix below was the output

Hi and welcome to Sysnative. Before we go further can you please do the following?

Test RAM With Memtest86+

Please ensure you allow 8 passes of the program!

Download Memtest86+ here:
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Which should I download?

You can either download the pre-compiled .ISO that you would burn to a CD and then boot from the CD, or you can download the auto-installer for the USB key. What this will do is format your USB drive, make it a bootable device, and then install the necessary files. Both do the same job, it's just up to you which you choose, or which you have available (whether it's CD or USB).

Do note that some older generation motherboards do not support USB-based booting, therefore your only option is CD (or Floppy if you really wanted to).

How Memtest works (you don't need to read, it's only for those interested in the specifics):

Memtest uses algorithms (specifically two), namely moving inversion & what is deemed Modulo-X. Essentially, the first algorithm fills the memory with a pattern. Starting at the low address, it checks to see if the pattern was changed (it should not have been), writes the patterns complement, increments the address, and repeats. Starting at the highest address (as opposed to the lowest), it follows the same checklist.

The reason for the second algorithm is due to a few limitations, with the first being that not all adjacent cells are being tested for interaction due to modern chips being 4 to 16 bits wide regarding data storage. With that said, patterns are used to go ahead and ensure that all adjacent cells have at least been written with all possible one and zero combinations.

The second is that caching, buffering and out of order execution will interfere with the moving inversions algorithm. However, the second algorithm used is not affected by this. For starting offsets of 0-20, the algorithm will write every 20th location with a pattern, write all other locations with the patterns complement, repeat the previous one (or more) times, and then check every 20th location for the previously mentioned pattern.

Now that you know how Memtest actually works, it's important to know that the tests it goes through all mean something different. It goes from Test 0 through Test 12, many of which use either one or the other algorithm discussed above, among many other things.

Any other questions, they can most likely be answered by reading this great guide here:

Thank you for the quick response, My initial problem was after upgrading my MB.. My PC would not boot into windows 7 No video/No Post, so it seemed.. I had to borrow an old VGA cable to access my BIOS once there I was able to set it up and ultimately reinstall my copy of Windows 7... That's when the issue with the update came about.. needed those updates to install GPU drivers and other updates to run BF1 lol....... Installed Win10 it seemed to be broken as well as in it worked but would not Mount any ISO file and third party mounting software failed to install period... All of this mess has taken at least a week of my life...I am happy to say that I was able to clone a win10 HHD and I'm not having those issues anymore. Of course i have no idea what you see in those logs would you still recommend running memtest?

If you are OK, there is nothing else to do. Thanks for letting me know. Take care.
