after I have updated with this I restarted my laptop then I played Dota after about 30mins I got a bsod. Then I played from my friends computer, He said he wanted to try the witcher after the oppening movie the g73 crashed again another bsod. Then when I was finish with the dota game and wanted to examine the problem, I turn on the g73 after it booted and the gadgets where out. The laptop closes all the program like its going to shutdown then before it shutdown I got a bsod. So I was thinking whats the problem and thought of maybe it was the Microsoft update, I restored it to the time the update was not installed and my g73 is running fine. My dilemma now is do I need this patch? because i'm scared that it will make the g73 crash again.

 

See if you can get a standalone installer for the patch. I find these installers are more reliable than the web download versions.

 

Also Windows updates are primarily unnecessary for most of us who don't download IMG_0518.JPG.EXE from that unknown person who added us on Facebook with a suspiciously hot picture

 

Same here, if I update my G73 it will freeze to death. I tried it several times and it really crash my G73. I have to system restore.

 

Wrong. Updates fix security holes which can be exploited to gain access to your computer.

 

I am aware. I'm sure you're aware that Windows Update has a history and reputation of being absolute crap, too.

 

Hey yupitchie have you tried what chastity said? downloading the stand alone installer?, I have already downloaded it but really thinking If I would install it )

 

Never had a problem.

 

Yo, I guess I get now why I end up on lock ups. I updated my OS BUT* I don't have the SP1, maybe that's the sign of incompatibility issues here.
Right now I installed the SP1 and will monitor things as of now (you need to install some earlier updates for you to see the SP1 option).
I also checked out those stand alone updates and read that they were included in SP 1.

Do you have your Windows 7 SP 1 installed or not yet?

 

If you honestly believe that then lol...

 

Yeah yup, I have it installed hahaha still havent installed the rc+ yet )

 

I would say see my second post, but either I forgot to hit submit, or it got deleted by a mod. I don't see why it would have, though.

What I said was I know that's not really correct, however Windows Updates are known, on the whole, to be absolute garbage.

 

If you are crashing with that update, you can skip it. Not compatible. Or if you insist you can try chastity's suggestion
I'm still monitoring my G73 after the SP1 update and as of now no crashes or BSOD.

 

I have it installed back on April... don't have any problem yet..(touch wood)
