Hey guys, first up, here's what i'm working with: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/codecay1/saved/2Uet
This is the first PC I've built, and you can probably tell I'm no expert.
When it came to installing windows updates, it just didn't like it. After going through the second or third update-restart process, the screen went black at the log in stage. Sometimes it didn't even get that far, and told me it just couldn't find anything to boot, or didn't tell me anything at all.
I repaired (came up blank), and started in safe mode to undo the update, so that the PC would at least run.
And it kinda did for a bit. It didn't look very good (graphically), but it was running.
Then I installed a Direct X update, and it stopped being able open skyrim or borderlands 2 even in the lowest settings and smallest resolutions.
On the most recent attempt it crashed, closed the game, black screened for a couple of seconds and told me that my driver failed. I think it said my AMD driver, but it disappeared almost straight away, so i couldn't read it properly.
I figured I'd restore my system again, but this then failed, and caused another struggle to just get it to boot again. It's driving me mad.
