If your computer was not crashing before you installed SP 2, and you
carefully follow all the instructions provided by Microsoft, it is extremely
unlikely that SP 2 will cause your computer to crash.

well my comp did not crash before i installed sp2. and i reinstalled it fully
and then put sp2 back on. and then it crashed again.. but anyways i found
some info that say i might need to update my BIOS. so i will try once again i
have my fingers crossed if not then i will be back!!
