I've got you covered here, bud! I just fixed this on mine for the EXACT same reason. Two things you'll need to download after a fresh install with an OEM Windows 7 1. KB3138612 Full File Name = Windows6.1-KB3138612-x64.msu 2. KB947821 Full File Name = Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64.msu Run the first one first, and it will just sit there and spin like you said before. End that task via the Task Manager, then look at your C: drive and you'll see an new folder "b3763f80e7a1a25a408b9de2" Open up CMD as an admin and type in the following commands: CD C:\b3763f80e7a1a25a408b9de2 (or whatever your folder file name is) then press ENTER Then type pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:Windows6.1-KB3138612-x64.cab and press ENTER After 30 seconds or so you'll get a message saying that packagemanager needs to reboot the machine. So reboot. When it comes back up, click on your second file that you downloaded, the SUR tool (KB947821) and cancel that from the task manager. Go into the C: drive and you'll see a second folder 3bbb367be2ad6debb7d77f70 Open up CMD as admin again and type the same commands: CD C:\3bbb367be2ad6debb7d77f70 (or whatever your folder file name is) then press ENTER Then type pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64.cab and press ENTER This one may or may not give you the reboot message, but a way to know for sure that it installed is to go into your Control Panel and look at your installed updates. If you see KB947821, then you're golden. Reboot the PC for good measure, and when it comes up, go into your Windows updates and click Check for Updates, and it'll pull everything up for you and get the ball rolling!!

I only ask, because all the other P5G41T-M MoBos have different BIOSes altogether. Originally I tried to just overwrite the BIOS on my board with another boards BIOS from the same family, but no dice.

Well, the hope was to be able to run overclock tests with different settings, get the RAM speeds tightened up a bit and just play around with all the options. So you're saying that even thought it's the exact same BIOS, all the same coding used to write that BIOS can't be opened the same on different MoBos?

I have a P5G41T-M SI motherboard. I have the most updated BIOS, 0606, and I was able to download the AMIBCP 3.46 tool and open that BIOS to look at all possible options. When I open it up, under the Advanced section it not only shows "(052F) JumperFree Configuration", it's checked and the accesses are "User" all the way down the list. I thought to myself, well maybe I DON'T have the most recent BIOS update since this has it listed and my BIOS doesn't show that option anywhere. So I saved the configuration making sure that all the "JumperFree Coniguration" options are selected to SHOW and grant regular User access, then flashed the BIOS successfully. Then when I load the BIOS up after a reboot, STILL NO JUMPERFREE section under the Advanced tab. Driving me crazy... What's the deal?
