Hi,

Chances are there was some malicious programs installed on the system, and
now SP2's addition of DEP is causing it to have fits. My suggestion would be
to run Spyware and AV programs from a BartPE disk
(http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/) to clean the system out. If you can get the
system stable enough in normal or safe mode, then you can run from within
Windows, but otherwise it'll be easier to do this from outside the system
OS.
