I don’t know much about MS OneCare, but if there is an uninstall utility available for it, better run it.
Use this in safe mode: http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility
Reinstall avast after that.
Report back.

I already uninstalled OneCare loooong ago.

24

And did you get rid of all remains, too…??
You could also run Ccleaner to check it…!

I uninstalled with utility/rebooted, still no graphics card. Deleted /uninsalled graphics card.
Installed latest version of Avast and re-installed Graphics card and drivers.

Avast works but i still get screen signal loss after the Windows 7 boot screen but before the password screen is displayed.

Me thinks this could be a serious problem.

26

certainly doesn’t give me much confidence in trying to uninstall/re-install. Maybe I should just switch to the free MS software instead.

27

Could be.
Please run free Mbam, if possible…! (In safe mode, if needed)

Ran Mbam quick scan, nothing found.

Will do a full scan and report back.

Oh, System Restore has’nt done anything either.

Not sure how you uninstalled OneCare, but if only via Windows Add/Remove Programs, you might want to run the OneCare removal utility I saw on the MSE forums. This would perhaps preclude any remnants may be causing your unsuccessful update problems. It’s #10 on the list here:

Morning all.

I ran a full scan in safe mode and nothing was found by Mbam.

On a side note, I forced windows 7 in to repair mode and after several minutes it came back that there was a problem with the filing system that it could’nt repair and suggested to use System Restore which I did.

After a few more minutes it gave a report saying that it was unable to fix the problem and to sent a report to MS.

Looks like I might have to re-install my OS.

Finally found the problem.

VGA controller has been corrupted somehow.

Reinstall it is.

Good, you found and fixed it…!
Thanks for your feedback.
