Story: Windows XP Service Pack 2: a first look
Posted by: Anonymous (Friday 2 July 2004, 11:23 AM)
I recentley installed SP2 on a laptop.
When the laptop is powered from the mains it works fine.
If I try to boot the laptop on battery power only it crashes to a BSOD with Machine_Check_Exception errors and
then reboots, and gets caught in that cycle. However if I plug the power adapter back in then it boots fine.
Even once booted if I unplug the power adapter it crashes after a few seconds with the same error.
I reckon this is a very serious problem as its causing the CPU to think there is a hardware fault and halts XP from loading.
It goes without saying that the SP2 has been removed and the machine now works fine.
