Forums are places for "open" discussions where everyone has an opportunity to share and learn. Others may find the information useful.
That's why I want to merge posts in one! Because I want to share information best I can!
My entry posts are garbage. The forum is not a mess.
Well, I don't even see a #3.
Still, you can save third my post as the only, entry post. Thanks.

The OS is 2 years old full version of Windows 7 x64 Professional without reinstall.
I use Malwarebytes software, and MSE antivirus. The OS is under protection.
Computer is connected to WIFi.
I splitted the process into two stages.
Health Report:
- Discs - OK!
- Memory - OK!
FIRST STAGE (July 2017 - September 2017):
1. OS had crashed, secondary HDD Samsung F3 dissapeared after restart - SATA cable OK!
2. OS crashes one time a week; sometimes secondary disc dissapeared.
3. WU, Audio and web browser lags - antivirus scans prevented some minor issues.
4. Windows Update was cleaned and restarted -
Windows 7 SP1 Windows Update stuck checking for updates - Super User
5. OS restart loop problem - Registry restore from command line with OS Disc:
cd \windows\system32\config\regback
xcopy c:\windows\system32\config\regback c:\windows\system32\config
It seemed that Windows System Restore was not running properly....
The oldest reported BSOD - Chrome was uninstalled.
Fixed! - No crashes - no WU issues - a month later....
SECOND STAGE (November 2017)
1. Sudden major BSOD - after Restore Point - WU crash. (major bug)
2. Some minor bugs - Windows Audio disabled during start-up, disabled WMI in Action Center, Network and Sharing Center
reports wrongly that computer is not connected to Internet.
3. Try to reset WU, reinstall audio and card drivers (No yellow marks in Device Manager)
4. Sysnative expert did the job (major bug) ->
[W7SP1 x64] CheckSur.log 0x80070002 - Major WU update issue after system restore.
Hi.. .
The "no anti-virus" message is common and can be disregarded.
Pretty much the same with the wifi message.
[...]
When you start getting access denied messages (usually 0xc0000005 error codes), something is amiss.
5. Tweaking.com Windows Repair did some work (minor bugs) - custom settings
6. Manual work on services/privileges --->
Windows 7 states I'm not connected to any networks when in fact I am connected to my wireless network??
a. Open cmd.exe as administrator.
b. Type those command lines:
net localgroup Administrators /add networkservice (press enter)
net localgroup Administrators /add localservice (press enter)
c. Reboot
7. Everything is OK. WU works OK. No crashes. No lags.
Any idea what caused the crash? Was it a BSOD?
I dont rememeber all codes of BSODs. But the most dangereos for me were Boot BCD black screen issues ocassionally while BSOD.
(for example 0xc000000f or 0xc00000e9);
So I think crashes are specific driver related, but I am not sure. Look, the GPU, network card and other components were running well, and there are not so many options to update them, bacause of age. The reason why I didn't reinstall OS: unknown causes of BSOD's - no major problems during work.
I needed to determine which were causing issue. You've installed a Preview of an update and that wreaked havoc on your machine.
If that make a sense, there was WU issue from the beginning?
Anyway, let put it clear. I want to examine if problems are software or hardware related.
And how to prevent them in future - I want to upgrade my oldschool computer (GPU, monitor).
