June Updates cause computer crash

I recently installed the June updates and the next day when i started it for
the first time after updating it showed a black screen that said that windows
xp did not start up correctly and gave me some options such as: Boot into
safe mode, Start windows using last working startup, and continue booting
into windows, When i chose any one of these it flashed a blue error screen
with a bunch of words for about half of a second, and then the computer
rebooted into the same black screen. I had to reinstall the operating system
to get into windows again but then the error screen appears every once in a
while when i start the machine, and then it reboots. Since i installed the
updates i have reinstalled the operating system twice, and i am sure i will
have to do it again soon, because it the screen shows up more and more as
time passes.
Have any of you experienced this and/or have an idea how to fix it?
Thank you in advance

Windows XP has a default setting to "Restart on failure"

Right click on "My Computer" and select Manage.
Expand the Event Viewer category and look through each of the three sub-categories for the red
flagged error records. The date and time of these should correspond to your restarts. Double
click on an error record to see the details of the error.

You can change this restart behavior:

Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, System, Advanced

In the Startup and Recovery section, click on the "Settings" button to open the Startup and
Recovery window.

In the System Failure section, uncheck "Automatically restart", Click "Apply", "OK"

After that change the computer will no longer restart when a system failure occurs. Instead it
will probably throw up a "Blue Screen Of Death" with a STOP error message and then halt
completely, requiring a manual power off and restart (or reset if it has a hardware reset
switch). But the contents of the STOP error message will give a specific clue
as to the underlying cause of the problem.

Same problem at my house! I've tried to repair reinstall windows XP twice
with no luck. It still won't open any Office documents or automatically
update. I contacted Microsoft customer support and am waiting for a reply.
If I get some help, I'll let you know!

Well my Dell Inspiron 9100 Laptop no longer boots now I suspect it's the VIA
update as that is the only update that is harddrive related. I wish i knew
how to uninstall that update form the command prompt. Out side of that i just
get the blue screen of death 0x00000007b 0xf7db2524, 0xc0000034
