I've successfully installed SP2 for Windows XP on 5 PCs so far.
But the 6th one is being problematic.
Everything was working fine before installing SP2 on this PC. The
installation of SP2 completed successfully & I was prompted to restart the
PC. Now comes the problem...
The PC will boot, it show the startup splash screen, the screen then goes
black, a mouse pointer appears, then after a few seconds I get a BSOD (blue
screen) with the following info:
***STOP: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, 0x8056EBA4, 0xF9BD1BA4, 0x00000000)
I have tried to boot into Safe Mode, Last Known Good Config., etc. all with
the same result.
I can boot into the recovery console, though. I ran CHKDSK /R to check for
errors but the hard drive came up clean.
I know that 0x0000008E is usually an indication of bad RAM, so I tried
different sticks of RAM, still with the same result.
I'm thinking it has to be related to SP2, because the problem started
immediately after rebooting to complete the SP2 installation. Any idea on
what to try next????
I really don't want to have to spend a day and a half wiping & re-installing
Windows & all the apps on this PC.
