Ok.. so I put together my own system because I've been doing it that way
since 1990.
My new computer was running just FINE until I installed sp2. First the
install froze and corrupted my MBR. Ok fine.. whatever.. I formatted my c:
and reinstalled windows xp. (which doesn't hurt me a bit because I'm not
dumb enough to put windows and other files on the same partition... much
easier to flatten the windows partition and still have my files)
This time, I installed sp2 on a fresh install of xp because I had heard that
this was a common solution to sp2 issues. Now what do I get? Random
restarts with the error "caused by device driver". What a load of crap. All
of the drivers for my system are CURRENT and the only thing that MS suggests
to do it to turn them off ONE BY ONE and see which one is doing it.
Well... la de freakin' da. How the hell am I supposed to do that when the
restarts are RANDOM??!?! SP2 should NEVER HAVE BEEN RELEASED- AND YOU KNOW
IT.
Fix my problem and you win a prize, otherwise I'm removing sp2.
