Installed SP2 - Now PC freezes frequently

I installed SP2 a few weeks ago and everything works fine - except - the pc
freezes quite often now (shades of the old "dreaded Blue Screen" from the
old Win98 days. It happens at least once a day, and under various different
usages (not just if I'm online, or using one program, or whatever).
I haven't seen anyone else write about this, so am wondering if I should
uninstall SP2 and reinstall. If so, do I just use System Restore or what?
thnx - z

Hi Zona ... we had the dreaded blue screen issues when we set up a mobile
lab. Turned out to be driver issues. One set of laptops it was the onboard
wireless and the other set it was the video card. Once the drivers were
updated, blue screens stopped. Hope it is as simple as that ... S
