They very same thing happened to me... They only way I fixed it was to boot in safe mode and un-install SP2.

That worked for awhile but in the long run I ended up reformatting. To this day I have not tried to install SP2.

i cant go into safe mode ive pressed f8 and tried all the options they gave me and it still restarted the only time it didnt was when i picked the "dont restert on system failier" and that jus showed a blue screen that said i prob had a virus and i should restert my comp again

Looks to me like you had TV Media installed - not a virus but a highly undesireable piece of spyware!!

If present on an XP machine, the install of SP2 results in constant reboots...

M$ even take this so seriously that they've released a removal patch

Unfortunately all you can do now is uninstall SP2, then remove TV Media, then re-install SP2.
