I think there was an issue with the new prescott processors and SP2, that SP2 wouldn't boot if the processor was present, and microsoft fixed it with an update. Don't ask me how you can update your windows if you can't boot into it, but that's microsoft for ya!

Here, I found the article, it's at http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;885626 but if this is not the case for you then I dunno, sorry

Do you use Stardock's Boot Image thing? Where you have a custom windows-loading graphic? There is a known issue with that (which is preventing me from goin' SP2... I love my Atari Boot screen).

there are alot of problems with SP2. It's incompatable with alot of devices. If you disconnect everything and boot with just a CPU, Mobo, graphics card (if not integrated), Ram and a Hard disk and start adding stuff on if it boots up fine one at at a time. Get rid of SP2 and wait till microsoft fixes up the SP2 problems.
