ok I remember now
its mainly happens to machines with AMD processors, usually HP machines as they include both an Intel and AMD driver in their pre-installed version of windows(which conflict) and cause the machine to fail to boot.
Also was some issues with the AMD graphics drivers.
Are there some new issues cropping up that I've missed?

Installing updates causes more problems than it fixes in my experience when your installing lots of them, way i do it with n-lite or v-lite, slipstream all the service packs and hotfixes and burn a new disc to install, installs like a dream when they are all integrated on an install disc.
