At this stage, I dont think it is a hardware problem. Have you tried Last Known Good Configuration? If does not help, do system restore from safe mode..

Start the System Restore tool at a command prompt
1. Restart your computer, and keep tapping F8 during the initial start-up until you get options, select Safe Mode with a command prompt then press enter.
2. Log on to your computer with an administrator account or with an account that has administrator credentials.
3. Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to restore your computer to an earlier state.
Look for the most recent system checkpoint created before the errors to restore from

This is another of those easy to answer questions. Easy with the computer on a workbench that is, and very hard to answer correctly here.
That said, I suspect your Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is dying or your Mainboard is failing.
Or possible your hardware requires a step that you have overlooked during the install process and this is unlikely if your using the Dell Setup Disks or Routines.
Without parts to swap in and out this type of problem can drive you nuts. With the parts on hand the diagnosis is usually simple.
You may save your sanity by taking your computer to a repair facility.
If your Computer is in warranty call tech support.

If you can get into safe mode, go into control panel and add/remove programs. Click the show updates checkbox on the top of the window, and scroll down until you find service pack 2. Click on remove. This should correct whatever the update messed up. If this gets you back into the computer normally, then backup your files, and try again. Hope this helps!

Try the "Last known good" boot
If that does not work, go into Safe Mode and the Control Panel and Add/Remove icon. Remove the SP2.

There is one sure way to fix this problem.
Put your Windows XP installation CD into your CD ROM and restart your system. When it asks: Start from CD, format your hard drive and reinstall Windows from scratch.
If you can, before doing this save anything you don't want to lose to a CD ROM.
