An Intel Board.....well, as I mentioned it lists Intel Core 2 Duo so I'm assuming that is what you mean? So yes, I am running that.

I never used to have this problem. In fact I've had the computer for a year (purchased brand new) and this is the first time I've had any issues with it. So the failed updates is one, and the continual closing of Windows Explorer is the other (which I've posted in another thread to keep them separate).

So before this started happening, it was good. Never a problem.
