Windows update causes pc to restart

Update on a previous post:
I was given a pc by a friend who emigrates to the States. He hadn't
used windows updates, or a firewall, or sp1 or sp2 or even a virus
checker!! I cleared the pc of viruses and spyware. I installed sp1
and
sp2 (i'm running xp) and used the firewall. the trouble is that when
I
use windows updates the pc restarts or crashes and goes to the "blue
screen" with various error messages. I'm running two virus checkers
still and both turn up nothing. the two spyware programs turn up
nothing nasty, so why do i get the problem?
The reason i mentioned how i got the pc is because it's a legit copy
of xp, but i've no way of formatting the pc and reinstalling xp as i
don't have the xp disks.
the pc works just fine without the updates, but i'd prefer to have
them on.
does anybody have any ideas short of wiping the pc and starting
again?
many thanks
Peter
