SP1 issues

[alan]

I bought a used IBM 600E laptop P2/400 196MB RAM 10BG HD that was loaded with W98SE. Everything was running fine. I upgraded (not clean install) to XP FAT32. For about a week everything was fine. Then I realized I did not have any of the security updates So I ran them all over the next several days. Shortly after that I started getting a blue screen and reboot but the blue screen went by too fast to read. Although it was annoying the blue screen only occured 1 once every week. Finally it looked like the HD died.

I got a new HD and did a clean install of XP NTFS. Everything seem to be running fine. Then once I started the security updates I started getting the blue screen again. This time I could see that each time the laptop rebooted it was a different blue screen, but still not up long enough to read it.

I reinstalled XP but left all the updates off and so far have had not issues. Any thoughts? CPU too old? Not enough RAM? Anything else you need to know?

If the errors are changing, it could quite possibly be memory or disk device/driver related. Have you checked the MS-KB with any one of those errors you're getting?

Well as I state the blue screens are flying by too fast to really tell.
