my pc keeps locking up out of no where and this is a brand new pc u think its
the patches or something else if anyone else is having this problem let me
know

Yes, I can't shut down (or it takes about 8 minutes to shut down). This
started immediately after I downloaded the same files.

I got them all except, of course, MS' malicious software removal joke. Have
you tried a clean up/chkdsk/defrag? Did either one of you have your anti
virus auto scan enabled when installing the updates?

I didn't say you had a virus. I asked if you disabled your anti virus
program's auto scan feature before installing the updates. You say you did a
clean up/chkdsk. Did you do a defrag?

Hi,

You haven't by any chance PowerChute 6.x UPS software (APC) installed
on the computer?

If so, upgrade it to v7 or uninstall it and see if that helps.


PowerChute 6.x cases a lot of issues, much more than what is described
here:

PowerChute Business Edition - Customers Using 6.x Must Upgrade to 7.x
due to Java Runtime Environment expiration
http://nam-en.apc.com/cgi-bin/nam_en...p?p_faqid=7202


This is how you can disable the PowerChute service if you are unable to
uninstall it:

Start Regedit.exe

Locate the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\APCPBESERVER
Set the "Start" value to 4 (means disabled)

Locate the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\APCPBEAGENT
Set the "Start" value to 4 (means disabled)

Reboot the computer.
