12 April Microsoft Windows massive updates - BSOD

Has anyone else experienced the issue with this week's Microsoft Windows and other product updates I describe below? I'm sure it's not with the Digital Storm installation. That's been working fine for weeks now.


My first post since I put my Sandy Bridge 2600K system on line at the end of March.

I've had the system on line 24/7 running Folding at Home since 22 March. Folding at Home.

All I can say is the system is amazing - powerful, keeps cool. At factory CPU settings, and at a 950 Mhz additional OC on the MSI GTX560 Ti video card, I'm averaging about 45,000 points per day in Folding at Home.

This is my first exposure to Windows 7 (or Vista, for that matter). I've been running XP on all my home computers and at work before I retired.

On to the subject. System has been up all the time. Able to reboot Win 7 Home cleanly and quickly (especially with the Seagate 600 GB Hybrid HDD).

I downloaded a massive update from Microsoft yesterday, for Windows, Security Essentials (which I'm using instead of Norton or other security suites), MS Office Professional.

Coming out of the updates, system wouldn't reboot. I went into the Windows recovery screens, and reverted to one of the recent saved states. Windows complained that it wasn't able to verify the installation, but it booted up seemingly fine anyway. This reverted back to 10 April, prior to this series of updates.
