Will not finish boot

My problem sounds like the "locked up with possible virus"
query so its not just me.

Started with a unexpected reboot while using the computer,
system automatically ran chkdsk, chkdsk did something with
security ids on all files. Now no matter what mode I try
to boot from (safe, last good known, normal, console) it
will stop and reboot. I get to the option screen that
tells me there was an error while loading. I get a
loading window screen then reboot. I have tried booting
from the xp cd(I set bios to do this), same results(system
does access the cd). I cannot get to the xp cd setup
screen to run the repair stuff. In some modes I get a
blue screen but it disappears within a second so I have no
idea what info it shows. Unfortunately I do not have a
boot floppy.

I had a very similiar problem 6 months ago and ended up
replacing the hard drive. Replaced a western digital with
a western digital.

Any suggestions on trouble shooting this problem?

Every since I downloaded the newest critical update my
computer has gone haywire. Internet explorer, msn explorer
freezes, has critical errors,low memory messages. Computer
crashes non stop. Tons of error messages-page fault in non
paged area-bad system config info. After a crash will not
restart in any mode. Has caused problems with my modem.
Finally got it to restart after cold boot.I know it is not
over heating. Was able to use system restore to restore it
back to date before I downloaded the critical update.I do
have sypware & updated virus protection. I know the
critical update changes the registry & I think microsoft
has this one messed up big time! I will not download it
again. I've read where too many people are having the same
problems and they all seem to have just downlaoded the
critical update too. Does anyone have any ideas about this?
