If your system is crashing without SP-2, do not expect SP-2 to fix it.
All problems, known and unknown, need to be resolved BEFORE installing
a Service Pack.
You should take your issue to a Windows XP newsgroup:

Post specifics such as exact error message, what you are doing when
crashes etc.
When ready to install SP-2:
