    Exclamation Heelp

     
    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

    but I bet it's some driver problem, but maybe not,

    these things are always a shot in the dark

    just to make sure I'm rebuilding the boot file with different version of win XP CD SP1 integrated.

    Possible it has something to do with SP2
