Stupid computer help
 

So I got a computer, regular compaq amd athalon xp about a year old, worked perfectly fine. So one day I decide to run the windows sp2 disk thing that I have and do the updates that pop up in the corner that I have been ignoring forever. So I did this ---- and now the computer acts fucked up. Every once in a while, it will just freze for about 10 to 30 seconds and then just act fine. but sometimes when it goes into sleep mode ( when it just sits for a while and the moitor turns off etc) after a couple of minutes, all of a sudden, the hard drive starts going nuts and spinning really fast, and the computer won't do anything, sually I just hit a mouse button and it turns back on, but now nothing.

So what the hell is it, how do I fix it, I'm no computer genious but know a little. hook me up I need help thanks

sp2 always fucked w/ me. I re-installed windows, and didn't upgrade anything, and haven't had any probs.

sp2 is f** up. I will probably reinstall windows and maybe install sp1 if I were you.

Re: Stupid computer help
 

you dont need to reinstall windows ::) just uninstal service pack 2

i hear sp1 security allows virus and spyware to access your pc..but iono maybe im wrong..i have sp2 installed right now....yeah if ---- goes too wrong i'd reinstall winxp and do da updates....if you dont want to lose any of your folders next time...just seperate the winxp from your personal folders in different partitions..or defrag your pc once a month or a couple of weeks maybe some files in your pc are missing and scrambled thats probably the reason why its ------ up during the update...? ??? ;D

how

Re: Stupid computer help
 

control panel then add/remove programs, scroll down to windows sp2

Re: Stupid computer help
 

the xp sp2 does suck the updates really screw with you

My friend had the same problem and reinstalling XP helped. I have never used a MS update and have never had a problem.
Everyone knows that SP1 and SP2 were released by the government/Microsoft to make it easier to spy on you due to the Patriot Act (ok well maybe not...).
