Problems getting the microsoft updates

I just put a new rig together from left over parts from a friend of mine. I'm running a Sandy 3700, a gig of geil one s, ASrock Dual 939 1695 mobo and a BFG 6800 GT. I've formatted like 5 or 6 times and everytime when I go to look for windows updates my cpu restarts on it's own. I thought it might be a device driver error but I looked and I don't have any question marks anywhere. What else can I do? I"ve also heard that I should flash my bios. I've done that to get the latest version and the same thing happens. Is there any way I can get the updates and possibly put it to a disk?

Thanks
 
As a starting point, check your system's Event Viewer for any events that might shed light on this. What version and service pack of Windows are you using?
 
You need to set windows to NOT Reboot on system errors, that way you will be able to read the error screen.

Are you saying it only happens when you try and update??

You're probably going to find that your rig is going reboot on other things as well. There is something wrong with your HW. Are you over clocking?
 
I am overclocking but I've noticed that it's now not only updates fro M$ but other things on the internet. Whenever I'm browsing it does it as well. Some applications do it too, mostly when I close them out. The OC is solid. My buddy has been able to get this to 2.7 on stock voltage. I then also thought it might be spyware. I kept getting a trojan called "winlogonhook" which doesn't sound good. I looked it up on the internet and it more or less lets someone remotely take over control of my entire system. Even including the keyboard and the mouse. Just for kicks I'm going to unplug everything from the mobo because I'm thinking it might be a short or something may not be fully attached.
