So after the POST, when the windows window is loading I bsod trying to apply the latest windows update. I just put the system together I applied the first update with no problem. Then a second update came along, granted it was much larger but this one is not cooperating. Any thoughts?

I'm restoring for a second time here, going to not install the optional updates and see what happens.

Hm, well I seemed to have fixed it although I'm not sure what I did. There were two updates unselected that I wasn't catching before and I unselected the 2 optional updates. so who knows I guess
