This will tell you about system requirements, previous required updates, updates that can cause trouble, and any third-party software you should disable. The list of items to check is rather long. If problems persist you can try installing Service Pack 3 through direct download rather than through Windows Update. You can find the file here.
Installation is pretty simple — just run the file, and an install wizard will appear to handle the rest. You can also try re-setting Windows Update to clear whatever error is the source of your woes. Right click Automatic Update and then hit Stop. Now again go to Start, click Run, but this type paste the following into the text field and hit Ok.
Right-click the Download file and rename it to Download. Then try downloading Service Pack 3 again. When you receive the BSOD, you should also see a second set of data near the bottom of your display. The following errors indicate a probable hard drive failure. Refer to the official Microsoft article on how to run Chkdsk , a program that can examine your hard drive for bad blocks. You should plan to replace your drive soon if any appear. These messages point to an issue with the hardware connected to the hard drive, which may be a motherboard, a RAID controller, or even a bad cable.
Make sure all hard drive cables are firmly connected and all drive controller cards if you have any are properly installed.
Finally, a virus can cause this issue by corrupting kernel data. Run a virus-scan to see if your computer is infected. This common BSOD means a driver has failed to provide the data Windows was expecting, resulting in a crash. In most cases, the issue is caused by a buggy driver, but sometimes it means hardware failure. The log file can be found in Event Viewer, which Microsoft provides detailed instructions for using.
Most people find the log file hard to decipher, but if you look for failure words or brand names, you may be able to self-diagnose the problem. Alternatively, you can provide the log file to a help desk, a friend, or post it on a Windows XP forum. By joining Download.
