Like others (long lisst on this board....), I have no luck doing windows update after wiping my HD and re-loading Win7 from fresh.  This is an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe MB with 3 Gb of memory with AMD64/4400+  Athlon 64 processor  with OS on a Kingston 120 Gb SSDNow 300 SSD.  Win7 is with SP1.

This will happens with no other software installed (i.e. anti-virus) and immediately after OS installation..  No problem at all with any hardware in “Device Manager”.  The machine will communicate with the web just fine since I went directly to MS and download/ install IE11 which is working and e-mail is also working.  I have tried:

  1. Windows Update Troubleshooter does not work.
  2. Occationally I get error code 8007000E but none of what it says can cause it applies here i.e. language, memory, anti-virus, etc.
  3. MS  “Fix it” – does not work

I MS no longer supporting new win7 installs?

    An infection of course is always possible but I only waited 10-15 min after OS install to install Norton's Internet Security and of course Windows Firewall was on.  That is nothing unusual.

    Regardless, I cannot prove one way or another.  What I would like to know is the path forward.

    Again, please don't edit a post of yours after someone has replied to it or to a later post (any) in the thread. Thank you.

    ...It appears that although the computer downloaded 200 odd updates and they show up in the “update history”, only 15 updates shows “successful” in “status”.  The rest all showed “Failed”.  I think all the "successful" ones were the ones that I hand loaded and not those that the system found.

    What would cause this?

    An ongoing infection of some kind and/or a faulty install of Norton Internet Security and/or having the computer connected to the internet without an anti-virus application installed after doing a clean install of Windows.
