Guest Yell0wpages Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Hello, I have had this problem for a very long time. Whenever I download service pack 2 the computer needs to restart, but when the computer restarts it keeps on restarting itself. It will not boot all the way it just restarts. We took the computer to Geek Squad ( A big mistake) they were usless and after about 2 weeks they told us that they could not fix it. I believe that they told the person who picked the computer up, that the only thing they could think of was that our computer was running on an illegal copy of xp, but its not. We bought the comuter from future shop ( In Canada, which is the same thing as best buy here, they actually own it. We now live in the U.S). We even have the Windows XP Home edition sticker with the product key on it. So I have no idea what to do next or even if there is a solution to this.
