    i have reinstalled windows twice and everything is fine until windows wants to install sp2.

    on the first occasion it messed my computer up big time.. all kinds of weird stuff so i ended up reinstalling windows(v64) and nothing else. then tried sp2....install went fine, it said, but blue screen not long after. then another time it said it did not install because of some problem, but it couldn't point me to it.

    what could this be? everything i installed was the original (and latest) drivers for this laptop. it's back to factory spec.

    seems i'm limited as to what i can do other than not install sp2?
