Are you installing any Driver Updates? Don't.
Instead get the drivers directly from the manufacturers website.

For some reason, whenever I try to use Windows Update I get some kind of
stop
error (in which the computer reboots) whenever I try to boot up and load
Windows. In every single case the only way to fix the problem is to
reinstall Windows off the CD. I think I've narrowed it down to the
critical
updates (all 38 of them) through trial and accident but I'm not sure. I
reckon that one of them is causing some kind of driver fault but I have no
idea what it is or what could be causing it. I'm reluctant to experiment
further because it takes well over an hour to reinstall Windows and can't
do
my computer any good.

I can't boot up in Safe Mode when the computer is in it's perpetual
booting
state, either. Stumbles in exactly the same place. Doubt it's a hardware
problem seeing as none of these problems correlated to any computer
upgrades.

Would very much like to fix this problem as my system is held together
with
glue and string right now - not very stable.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
