SP2 amd AMD boot up failures

Ok so i have a pc thats works for 6 months with SP2 perfectly, i upgrade
hardware with audigy zs soundcard and bigger hard drive(secondary) so now i
get a message saying updates downloaded ,click to install, after install it
needs a reboot, and then never boots up again, keeps resetting on a black
screen just after windows loading screen, i have read many articles saying
about compatibility with AMD64 bit but not AMD athlon xp 1800+.
Heres my spec, could anyone suggest any ideas? i have to format btw every
time i get this problem.

amd athlon xp 1800+
1024mb ram
maxtor 60gb hard drive
fujitsu 20gb hard drive
ati radeon 9600xt se sapphire
network card
usb 2.0 belkin pci card
audigy zs pci sound card
lite on cd/dvd rewriter
dvd rom drive
floppy drive

I do not know the error that makes it reboot. To stop the automatic reboot
go into Control Panel,
Advanced,
Start UP and Recovery,
Setting.
uncheck Automatically restart.

This will give you error number that should help you track down the problem

Hope this helped
