it could be any number of problems http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6142_102-0.html?forumID=5&threadID=247073&messageID=2483208
Has the PC only recently been built, or has it been running fine for several months and suddenly has issues after SP2? If the PC is newly built, service pack 2 may just be a coincidence and you may have a faulty power supply.
