In need of desperate help!!!

Ok extracted the file and ran the bios update and now it reads F6.

Fingers crossed all will be good its just booting up now.
 
AHHHAHAHAHHHAH

Cant believe it!

It still hangs just after windows does it's automatic update i cant believe it!

Do you guys reckon it is a software or hardware fault?
 
Yer as far as i am aware it does it when windows does it automatic update thing on startup.

Do you think it is software or hardware to fault?

I mean should i reinstall windows and see if that helps?

memtest86, see if that passes, sounds like RAM or mobo to me. try it with minimal amount of RAM in, then try a different stick in a different slot etc. I'd also check temps.

It's unlikely to be software, but it is possible. Since you think it only happens when you update windows, turn off auto update and then try running prime95 small fft's torture test on all cores, if that passes 30 minutes-an hour try a blend test for at least an hour (this tests ram + cpu). The blend test could freeze/reboo tyour pc which will tend to mean dodgy ram.
 
Right ok after a few hours dedicated to locating the problem i think i may have narrowed it down to two things; either the motherboard or the ram.

I tested each stick on it's own with memtest86 in all slots and they all work fine as soon as i put two sticks in, the computer restarts itself after 10 seconds. And when i put three sticks in the computer freezes on the first part of the first test at 7%.

So basically i think it is RMA time do you think i should RMA the ram or the motherboard im hoping you are all going to say ram.
