purple_lily76 0 Posted November 20, 2004 Hi all. I am new here, so go easy on me LOL! I installed SP2 3 days ago, and the PC has been randomly rebooting itself ever since. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated. Here is the error report if it will help. Thanks! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/purple_lily76/Error.jpg Share this post Link to post
purple_lily76 0 Posted November 20, 2004 Update - now my PC is either freezing altogether or programs are going not responding or "needs to close". What is happening with this SP2??? I'd simply uninstall it but then I am left without a firewall... Share this post Link to post
peterh 1 Posted November 20, 2004 Windows XP (No SP or SP1) does come with a Firewall, you can turn it on manually! The freezing could be due to: a) Old drivers Incompatible software c) Old software Update drivers and software and do a defrag of the system again. Check for any unncessary software using MSCONFIG in Startup. Spyware can affect XP systems to scan for them too. Share this post Link to post

Wicked101 0 Posted November 21, 2004 I also had that problem before with SP2, I had all the latest drivers and software, but once I installed SP2 my PC would not start up, it just kept rebooting, not nice. Share this post Link to post
