Since installing SP2 for XP my PC crashes at least twice a day. It completely
freezes. I've tried ctrl alt delete but nothing happends. all i can do is
pull the plug from the mains and switch it back on again. when its back on
there is no error message. Can anyone help please??

Hi

Have a look in the Event Viewer. Are there any entries that may relate to
the freezing? Do you see any error messages just before the freeze and are
you using any particular program at the time?
