Windows 7 crashed after todays updates

by: WanderingTechy Friday, March 12th, 2010

I installed 2 updates today,

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 – March 2010 (KB890830)
Microsoft Security Essentials Client update package – KB2019198

After installing my mouse failed and then the whole computer locked up.  I rebooted thinking that would clear it.  about 3 minutes after the reboot the system BSOD’d.

I restarted in safe mode and used the system restore to backup to yesterdays config.  It has been stable since.  I will be holding off on this update until I know the cause of the crash.

[Update]

I found out that a powerfailure early friday morning had corrupted some of the windows system files which had caused this problem.  I had not seen this before but a reinstall of windows fixed all the crashes.
