So PC was running fine, AMD 64 3400+, 2GB RAM, Windows 7.
At some point all the USB ports are not working which means no KB/Mouse. Go out buy new KB, same problem. Check in BIOS and USB ports are somehow disabled.
Go to use Quickbooks and the program errors out, same with Word/Excel. Next Norton 360 goes down. Computer pretty much useless.
I run 2 other anti-virus programs and nothing comes up. Run 4 anti-spyware programs and it finds mostly items from AIM. Computer still not working.
Now I reinstall Windows 7, everything goes fine (I didn't delete the reserve space that Windows sets up for itself) until I get to one of the security patches from the MS Update. I try to install the patch about 5 times with no luck. So I d/l it directly from MS and it installs fine.
Off to install SP1 and it won't work. Try 3 times. So I d/l it directly from MS and it won't install. Next to the download it actually says, "This program was reported as unsafe", never seen that before. So I go and download MS's "System Readiness Tool" and trying to launch that fails. I'm downloading it again to try, but I'm guessing it's going to fail again.
One thing I notice when Windows boots is a little screen corruption across the top of the loading screen which lasts for a couple of seconds and goes away.
Any ideas what this problem could be?
