Hello

When I load SP2 I can only boot into safe mode. If I remove SP2 everytihng
OK.

I have updated drivers for pretty much everything - but no joy so far. I
had a similar problem on a computer with an Intel motherboard and after
updating the BIOS I found I could load SP2 without problems.

Updating BIOS on the Asus is a bit more scary because it is a customers
machine, the web site says only update if motherboard supplied direct from
them, Mesh the supplier just says don't bother with SP2, they do not have an
eay BIOS updater like Intel, etc.

Kit is fairly new - about six - nine months old. Only real distinct thing
about this PC is that it is running an AMD Athlon 64 bit processor.

Customer really wants SP2 so would appreciate any help.

I have emailed asus but not received any reply as yet.
