SP2 update causes no boot.

[EDWARD LANDIN]

Hi,

I left automatic updates running, downloading and
installing SP2 last night. When I got back to it earlier
this morning, the setup recommended a reboot. The system
did not reboot completely and was only able to get to the
loading of WinXP and then restarted automatically, it
doesn't even start on safe mode. Please help, thanks!

I have had a similar situation with a few of my Gatway E-3600's, and think it
may be a problem with the agp440.sys service. Check out this article to see
if it corresponds to your problem.

Do your Gateway PCs have Prescott or Celeron D CPUs? Then see:
