SP 2

[sailruner]

My issue is that I have reformated the hard drive 3 times now. and it has ending up in a revolving boot.
The first time sp2 was download automatically and once it rebooted everytime you clicked on any program the IE window appeared fatal error do you want to send report window. No operation could be done. thought process adware / spyware on pc
Reformatted exactly a week later a revolving boot process started. Xp screen would come up and the cycle began.
spent 5 hours on chat with microsoft corrupted file could not be corrected. Possible cause loading software made sp2 unstable.
so reformated loaded sp2 off the disk applied all hotfixes then, loaded all software. pc seemed fine. today after 4 days of working loaded another 3d graphic software. PC is in a continous reboot. the screen is, load xp in safe mode or reg mode or any other mode doesn't matter it never boots up. cause I have no idea why this keeps happening

any ideas no matter how crazy I will try.
thank you Jackie

To get further information about any error look in your Event viewer.

Look in the System or Application folder. You can get to the Event Viewer via right click My Computer icon and select Manage.

Any errors logged in the Event Viewer can be expanded by double clicking on the error line.

Take any event error I.D. number and search for it on these sites.

Also check any "Information" line that mentions "savedump" and you should find reference to "recovered from a bug check". This is the Stop Error that caused your problem.

You can also turn off "automatically restart after an error" so it will just halt at the fault and display the full Stop Error and blue screen.

Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties .
On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery .
Click to clear the Automatically restart check box under System failure , and then click OK . The error message on a blue screen should remain on the screen so you can record the error information.

Search for updated video drivers on the manufacturer's site.
