Had to remove a stick of ram to stabilize. I checked on my Windows updates and there was one for KB3156421 it tried to download but was failing with Error code: (0x80073712). Researching online suggest running "sfc /scannow" and "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth". SFC command successful and found no errors. DISM fails with: Error: 14093 The identity string is malformed. This may be due to a trailing comma, more than two unnamed attributes, missing attribute name or missing attribute value. The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log I had read that DISM requires access to Windows Update to repair whatever it repairs so I thought about running: C:\Windows\system32>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:wim:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess Ended in the same error 14093 Log file can be viewed here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3621780/dism.log Right now I'm manually dowloading the update that I need. Any help appreciated.

I don't know about the DISM yet. Will try that after I see if this update finally installs.
