Hey i have just installed windows 7 on a dual core pc that i have but i cant get the net to work properly but its an unusual issue...

Problem 1 I cant update my windows 7 it says unknown error Code: 80072F8F.

Problem 2 When i go online as its loading a page (any webpage) i can see in the bottom left corner it says error loading page... error loading this and that, pics n stuff basically everything on the page has an error loading... with most websites thought the page does load but not fully there may be some pics and stuff and then some code and sometimes the whole webpage is just code also sometimes if i click refresh the page loads with no probs.

note please... i have a home network with 3 other computers on it and they all work perfect on the net...

i have also installed XP on the exact same computer + components but have the same problem
 
Solution
both my copy of 7 and XP are legit... neither of them will update and neither of them load web pages properly... i was thinking more along the lines of dodgy ram maybe?? for 2 reasons...

1st the pc crashes often with win 7...
but never with xp unless i download something with explorer... i can download with mozilla and i think this is because mozilla downloads direct to you hdd whereas explorer downloads to ram then copies to your hdd but i have tried different ram and it still does the same thing...

also could it be a busted on-board network card?? maybe it isnt getting the info from the net properly
 

I had similiar issues a while back and the dirty culprit was a bad ram module.
