Startup Problems After SP2

[Snip]

After I installed SP2 my machine started acting up -
startup problems. I always shut down windows and then
turn off my surge suppressor. When I want to turn the PC
back on I turn on the surge suppressor and press the on
button on the PC and everything works. Now that SP2 is
installed the startup is messed up. When you turn the
surge suppressor on the PC goes thru a quick surge and
then goes dead before you even press the power button on
the PC to turn it on. I tried different plugs and
different surge suppressors thinking that was the problem
but that didn't work. After I uninstalled SP2 the
machine startup went back to normal. What is in SP2 that
would cause such a thing and is there something or someway
to fix it so I can use SP2?

Thanks for any help
