I'm tearing my hair out here


I installed sp2 with no problems about a week ago. Yesterday for an unrelated reason I had restored the pc to factory condition. Since then I have had nothing but blue screens when trying to install the software. I have followed every type of advice; driver updates, virus checkers etc.. my 4th blue screen came after I'd even tried the thing in safe mode.
I'm quite fed up and annoyed that Microsoft have released this product, obviously without ensuring it's reliability.
