I've just built dad a new machine using an i3 530, corsair 4 gb ddr3, and anasus p7h55m board (using the on board gfx). I am using his existing samsung 500gb sata hard drive and a clean install of windows 7 home premium.
The fist 2 times I tried windows setup I got a BSOD before I even got to the language select screen. 3rd time lucky and the install went fine.
I connected a cable to the built in lan and begun downloading windows updates and ms security essentials. Straight away I got loads of errors with the updates. I reckon I've seen at last 8 different error codes, they seem to be different every time. 80091007 and 80070057 are the 2 most recent. I got security essentials installed but when I came to updating the definitions, I get "unknown error". iTunes was also refusing to install at one point with the unknown error. Also occasionally after restarting I get currupt desktop graphics as seen here
This is a totally clean install so there can't be any software conflicts. no overclock either. CPU temperature is showing in the low to mid 30s
Has anyone got any idea what's going on? I don't even know if I'm dealing with a software or hardware problem. It's getting to the point that I'm considering just returning the new parts, binning the old ones and buying dad a mac mini instead
