Running Windows 8. To start with, I just became a member today and was glad to find this forum.
This problem happened after I had to go back to factory settings on my pc to resolve a problem. I am now up and running ok and pc is back to normal.
This is what troubled me . Naturally Window,s Updates had to be recovered to catch back up for needed patches. There was 108 updates to be downloaded. Every one downloaded fine and they all
installed ok. Now pc had to do configuration on these updates. During configuration, maybe half way through the rotateing activity icon would go from center to left side of monitor screen and pc would blink off and then blink back on. I then would get a restart and pc would pick configuration of updates from where it left off. Because of pc blink off, updates did not configure properly then this would trigger a repair reply. This happened 3 times but after the first time I used recovery menu remove file only. I eventually got through this by installing updates 25 to 30 at a time.
Note: I found no maleware or viruses in program runs to look for. I ran Norton Internet Security 2014 full scan, Norton Eraser, Malwarebytes,ect.. and nothing turned up except a few cookies.
Have a HP Pavillion / 1 tet drive/ and 8 gigs ram. windows 8 program.
My question is, what would cause this update configuration problem? I wish to say hello to everybody and I will also help with tech answers if I see a familiar problem. Job is Eng. Technician .
