A doozie: W7 will not verify digital signature of drivers and W7 updates nogo

Hi Shane, after spending more than 15 hours on this I decided it was time to cut my losses and the customer agreed. He will be replacing his laptop because it cannot be made secure even though I explained to him that using Sandboxie could (maybe) do it. The error was plain: "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer's hardware." It was W7 Home Prem 64 bit = both giving the same errors regardless of using the Acer Restore Disks or OEM version on DVD & flash. As far as disk drivers are concerned, the restore disks did install all the drivers but it made no difference, the OEM has the hd driver as well. Regardless of which install, it continued to not recognize the digital signature of approx 3 drivers: video, audio and Turbo Boost from Intel, would not allow any Windows updates or any AVG antivirus updates. MSE would not even install. Yes in one of the installs, I did shut down UAC but it made no difference. Thanks for your time and effort.

Given the fact you covered all the bases it really does look like it is the motherboard. If something on the board was going bad such as a part of the chipset then a driver would fail for it, also the chipset and motherboard is used for the vitalization of Windows, some motherboards let you turn on or off it in the bios.

Given all the facts you have given me it does truly sound like a bad motherboard.
