Blue screen of death after installing XP SP2
Hi,
Even if the computer meets min standards for the update, if you don`t properly prepare the computer for the update, then chances of getting BSOD is very high. You need to ensure your system is virus free, spyware/malware/adware/parasite free, delete all internet temp files and cookies, run chdsk or Disk doctor, defrag your hard drive, back up important data, turn off/disable anti-virus, turnoff/disable any virtual drives. Then you can install XP SP2. There are probably more pre-install steps, you can go to the links that many of the MVP`s have listed, also Microsoft has instructions on what to do prior to installing SP2. 99% of the time, the user will not have any problems as long as they follow the steps outlined in preparing your computer for the update.
