So you said anything that goes slow is ok (like downloading big 1gb files) but doing many updates at the same time on a faster way give you all kind of problems...
I would start thinking you might have a bad or corrupted disk controller driver... or badly configured one. Could you give us more details on how you are setup with your HDD/SSD? Are you using AHCI or IDE or RAID? Which version of bios you have, which controller on your motherboard you are using and of course, which drivers you are also using.
I don't want to fall for the fastest and easiest way here, but many small files or updates means lot of I/O on disk and if you are having problem it seems to be related to I/O and i mostly never saw problems related to the speed of the ISP that would make you fail to install a driver or a piece of software.
I have had in the past many customers come to me with problems like yours related to bad raid drivers, badly configured write cache, or plain incompatible driver version with the onboard controller firmware version.
Please enlighten us on the way you started your windows installation, because, out of the box, windows 7 got a lot of drivers that should enable you to install windows correctly. WIth x79 chipset, you have to specify the drivers, and it might be your problem... bad disk controller drivers that could lead to the total instability you are experiencing.
Wow what a disaster. I don't even know where to begin! I'm going to start over.
I built Zeus to program with 3d Applications. I never expected it to take SO LONG and so much effort to build a stable PC. I wrote a list of parts, triple checked compatibility in every way, and ordered them. My friend said not to waste my money on Windows 7 because he had a license I could use. I thought: cool. He already paid for me. Turned out it was pirated, and had problems. I was also using some crappy USB external dvd reader I found in the bottom of my closet. So I built Zeus using parts from around the world, everything worked until I figured out about the pirated software. Whatever, I used it. I didn't have money to buy the real thing, just spent all I had. Nothing but problems, mostly because I'm a noob. So today I bought a Sony internal Bluray writer. it''s sweet. I also bought Windows 7 64 bit... a legit physical disk. Installed, hit a snag with Microsoft thinking it was not genuine (ironic, no problems like that with the pirated version) but they fixed that. Then I installed the drivers that came with the motherboard. No problems. went online, installed 12.4 driver for the video card, successful installation. cool. Rebooted pc... BAM no graphics driver, same problem as before. I called around, after 4 hours We figured out that it's the BIOS. uninstalled the 12.4, updated the bios, then reinstalled the 12.4- works like a charm. I was ecstatic. I reinserted the ROG motherboard disc, installed the programs in the utilities section all at once, or I tried to. The computer rebooted and the installation stopped. it didn't continue automatically, I wasn't sure what was going on. So I tried again. only one program had installed, I don't know which. I wasn't watching my pc, but at some point the Display driver stopped responding and recovered. It said so at the bottom right. I ignored it, it seemed to fix itself, but I've seen the error before, when I was testing the pirated version of windows. The computer rebooted, and I started getting errors all over the place. Bluetooth com port not detected. Windows can't check for updates. Permission to restart PC. Unknown device driver not installed correctly. I said restart, the computer froze. I waited five minutes, then manually restarted it. Now the display driver resets every 5 seconds, I have errors everywhere spilling the guts of my pc onto the monitor before I can see what's happening, programs trying to fix themselves using broken software and I feel like there's a cat in my case with a ball of string. Everything's all twisted up.
What the hell is going on? Have I not done everything exactly the way I should? Is there anyone who can help?
