If you can reboot and get back into windows, you may want to look at the Windows Update log (assuming you are doing the upgrade) and not a clean install for some clue as to the issue. C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log or it may log update details in C:\$Windows.~BT which is a hidden folder.

That looks like a two part error code... the first is (0x8009000f) Object already exists, the second is a line code for a part and could be anything plugged into a pci slot… I assume something network related first because of the timing so what network card have you got… a PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (known to have windows driver issues) perhaps try putting a cheap intel card instead?
