256meg Radeon 9800pro (Sapphire) (using latest Omega Drivers)
1 Gig DDRRAm 400Mhz

Now instead of restarting, your computer will display a blue screen which will show the file that is causing the trouble. For me it was my sound drivers and a quick upgrade fixed the problems I was having. Hopefully your problem is also as simple <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
2) yah, BSoD. Update/roll back drivers and you should be good
If you're still having problems, jot down the relevant information from the BSoD (XP BSoDs typically have a text string tied to them now, making troubleshooting easier).
If it's tied to a specific .dll or other system file, do a google on it if you don't know what it is. after you identify it, you should be able to proceed with obvious fixes (as previously stated, updating drivers, etc).
you shouldn't uninstall SP2 because someone else has had problems with it, unless you're sure the problem is related to SP2 and there are no other solutions.
