Hello, Today I went on windows update on my Vista and then I saw an update called Sp1. I did not previously have SP1 or 2 so I started updating my PC. After I installed the update, it began to restart my PC. Now when my PC goes to the bootscreen it freezes after 3 seconds and quickly flashes a BSOD and just keeps restarting. I also tried safemode, but when it boots and displays the drivers being loaded it just freezes there and I now I don't know what to do :S? SOMEONE HELP!!!
Vista Sp1 installation failure

MS about it,how to rescue system in this situation: The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista and Windows 7
When you restore system -unplug all 3p devices,if you have two or more hdd unplug these too (leave only of course master drive) and try install SP1 standalone version in safe mode.If it fail too flash new BIOS,update drivers for chipset,video card and network card.

Well I don't quite understand what your say, but I can't go into safemode.
This is what the BSOD says for Technincal Information:
***STOP: 0x0000008E (0x0000005, 0x83AC453F, 0x80399A15, 0x00000000)

Good whs... but just being picky.. why not download windows stuff from microsoft links??
My Computer
OK, but he first has to get his system up and running. And a repair disk is his best chance. THEN he can download SP2 and even install it (if he is adventurous- LOL).

Same thing. My link has been tested many, many times. Microsoft put this DVD only together AFTER the Neosmart people ( a very reputable site) had created it from bits and pieces that MS had sprawn all over their site. As I understand it, it is the same.

I tried that CD and it says that the vista is not compatable and I could repair it
My Computer
So is it safe to install SP2 when I have just downloaded SP1 and my PC is not even getting passed bootscreen.

is your pc booting up now.. your initial problem was that your pc was not starting after updates?? If your pc is not starting yet.. u need to put the windows cd and select repair.. not install windows.. if you install windows you will loss all your data and hava brand new windows.. so better you run the repair.. post back if it works then we will guide you for the service pack..

First you must know what kind of system architecture do you have -32bit or 64bit.You have to burn *.iso applicable for your system
My Computer
Too tell you the truth I'm not even sure. All I know is that I bought it in 2007 and never upgraded or anything since. I tried x64 for this one, I'll try the other and tell you guys how it goes
My Computer
Go to Start, right click on COMPUTER > Properties. There it tells you what OS you have. See picture. And 32bit is X86.
