Think I may have found the problem. Am getting some RAM errors when I run
the Windows Memory Diagnostic program. Looks like the system has a bad bank
of ram. Why it would work without SP2 and fail with SP2... not a clue.

E-Machines T1100

Every time I install XP SP2 on this machines I get blue screen of death
errors. The error code are not consistant. 8E and C2 being the last two to
come up.

Originally we installed it via a download and had to uninstall it, because
of random BSOD problems. Uninstalling cured the problem.

Now system has been restored to it's original configuration. XP-Pro was
installed which has SP2 included in it. The BSOD problem has returned.

I have removed all cards and thier drivers and I still get a BSOD errors.
(Cards were a Netgear NIC and a factory installed modem.)

Only the restored programs and XP-Pro have been installed no other
software.

No BSOD problems without SP2 installed.

Any ideas?
