hey guys,
I have a tower: Celeron 566
Bios Version 4s4eb2xo.86a.0023.p16
256mb of ram
OS: windows XP SP2 integrated
After I formated hd I installed win and the install went really good. When I applied critical updates and security patches I restart the tower and the computer just keeps rebooting. Before the updates I passed the post screen and booted no problem.
I have this problem on 2nd computer as well. Same symptoms so its not hardware related. Before the format computer was functional.
any ideas ?? Could it be bios update ?

confusing part is that on one computer I installed win XP SP2 intergrated latest version ( not in stores beta  ) and on other computer I installed win XP which I used before on few towers with big success
cant think of anything but bios, before I head same problem and the fix was bios update  |

these things are always a shot in the dark |
