Computer restarts everytime windows loads up (after installing SP2)

[ZeroAce]

I just got done installing service pack 2, and then my computer restarts everytime windows tried to boot.

I reset my bios to it's default settings (I was overclocked with no problems previously), and now windows will start up but it will then restart after all the startup programs have finished loading.

Unless Sp2 has a built in rollback feature, I don't think there is anything I can do because I did not have system restore enabled.

Can you try starting it in safemode and then uninstalling sp2?

Thanks. That did it.

I am working on a computer for someone. It continuously reboots right after the splash screen. The "blue screen of death" flashes briefly right before it reboots. I am not really sure if anything was installed before this started happening(Hardware or Software). The operating system is XP Home and I did notice that it did not say "HOME" on the splash screen, so I believe that they had installed sp2 on the machine before this problem started(I noticed that my computer no longer says "Professional" since I installed sp2). The model number on the computer is PCV-2220(Sony Vaio). However, I cannot boot up in safe mode, it does the same thing.
