Windows up date fails

when windows updates everything goes great until the computer reboots then it
reaches the installing updates 3 of 3 0%. It then just sits there for several
minutes shuts down and reboots until it reaches the same spot. I then have
to turn the computer off and back on 2x once to reach safe mode then again
before it loads safe mode, it will then boot in restore and repair, restore
then reboot just fine. However after checking updates it says they failed.
Computer is a Dell running windows vista home premiun. For now I have turned
off updates.
Thanks
