Subject: [PCBUILD] computer hangs during update 

I had something happen to me that's never happened before.  I was doing
my weekly update of Windows 7, and I did the restart, and left.  I came
back in two hours and I was on the screen that said, "Updating Your
Computer Do Not Turn Off Your Computer," or something like that.  But,
it was hung up at 30%.  The three-fingered salute would not work, nor
pressing esc, del, and whatever else.  I had to force a hard shut down
by holding the power key down for four seconds.

When it came back on the next time, I had it start as normal and all
seems fine.  I think that nothing bad has resulted.

Anyone have any suggestions of things that I should be doing?

I have had some quirks since I built this a year ago, using the latest
hardware.  It's possible I have some kind of a memory problem.  I tried
to have the memory check at boot turned on in the bios of my ASUS  ROG
motherboard, but I doubt if it is running.  It doesn't seem to have the
"slow boot"  like earlier bios that take time to run a memory test.  Are
there some memory tests built into 7 that I can use or online?  I have
four 4GB DDR4 sticks of Corsair Vengeance Memory.
