    Try booting into safe mode. That would just load basic graphics support. Now, you also said that after a clean install of the OS and SP1 only, it did the same thing...so that would indicate to me that something more than SP2 was causing the system to phreak out.

    SP1 works fine, it's just SP2.

    One or so of the updates in SP2 is conflicting with my hardware, whether that's my motherboard, graphics card or t.v card, i have no idea.

    Is there an official forum to post my problem and screw at Microsoft?

    Just read this on Microsofts site:

    SP2 Download

    "DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER!"

    Apparently, the file i downloaded, which i assume everyone else has downloaded since it's the only official file Microsoft has released is attended ONLY for multiple computers.

    If i am to update only one pc, i should go through Windows Updates, done that already, again, it screwed my pc up

    When i'm finished putting all my software in again, i'm going to do a Nortons Ghost backup, and then go about Windows updating until i find the problem update.

    I doubt anyone can help me on this matter, except Microsoft, i'll just e-mail bill gates
