Thumbs down updating windows 2000

i tried my best to see if there was a thread on this so far, but couldnt find one. i hope maybe some of you 2000 pros can help.
the blue screen of death (bsod). many of you have seen it, but after a fresh format and installation of windows 2000, then update? hmm i was very worried about my video card, and hard drive when i saw this happen to my comp:
p4 celeron 1.7G
Mainboard P4S5MG/GL+ mobo
256k DDR
maxtor 30G IDE (not sure what model)
and supposedly a radeon 7500

this happened right after installation of service pack 4 from the windows update site. i had do a fresh install of windows to get comp to work again.
SO, ny question is: does anyone have an idea as to why the bsod would have reason to come up?

any comments would really help! thank you.

also i would like to say that even when i don't have any BIG reason to apply the sevice pack, except some programs need it updated to run.

thanks again
