I'm having a problem with this computer that I removed a bunch of spyware
and viruses from. Basically the issue is at the same point every time I
attempt to install SP2 it blue screens on me. There are no errors in event
viewer when I reboot for that exact time it blue screened. I'm wondering
what could be causing this. I've already check and made sure it wasn't
faulty ram. Any other ideas what may be causing this system to blue screen
at the same exact point each and every time I try to install SP2? Only with
SP2, I can browse the net etc all the time without any issues.

Could be for several reasons. Will add this to my todo list and come up
with a page of checkpoints. Good luck in the meantime and do some reading
here and let us know what worked/helped:
