Are you asking about a Mac or a hackintosh?

Understood, your reference to a PC implied a hackintosh.

That aside, what version of OS X are you running? Also, was bootcamp working properly prior to the most recent update?

Your profile indicated that you have Win 7 Ultimate installed on your rig. Is this the system we are talking about?

Also, have you looked here for help?

It could be as simple as the device. Are you using a thumb drive with a Win 7 image on it? Why not just burn the ISO to DVD and install from your superdrive?

Just download the ISO and burn directly to DVD. Minimizes the likelihood of an error with your thumb drive copy.
