Error on booting Windows XP2 disk

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

On a Dell Dimension 8100 (Bios updated to version xp) I can boot up and
install windows XP professional (original version). If I try and boot
up Windows XP Pro with SP2 then the system blue screens as soon as the
cd starts up windows.

error is STOP 0x0000007f (0x00000008, 0x80042000, 0x00000000,
0x00000000).

I have tried
1 replacement (new) hard drive
2 different CD rom
3 replaced memory
4 replaced CD rom drive
5 all other devices are removed from motherboard (ie sound card, modem
etc)

If I install the original windows xp professional this is fine. If I
upgrade it using windows updates to sp2 then this blue screens on
startup.
