After new install of Windows 7; Windows updates not producing results

I have rebuilt my HP Mini 311-1037NR with Windows 7 installation DVD.  The installation runs fine.  Once the installation is finished the next thing I try to do is run Windows Updates.  It will run for hours without producing any results.  Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this problem?

Thanks,
John

Thank you for your input.  It took me three days to get ALL the updates downloaded and installed.  I was using a version of Windows 7 that already had SP1 pre-installed.  My laptop only had 2GBs of RAM, which I believe was part of the problem.  I have been reading articles that say the downloads for Windows 7 are so many that it takes up a lot of RAM to download and install.  I also have read that since Windows 10 came out that the update servers at Microsoft are getting taxed so it is taking longer to download the updates for Windows 7, being so many.  Thanks again.
