This sounds more like a Windows SP2 problem.
OO does NOT automatically update yopur machine but Microsoft DOES (if
you leave automatic updates on, as it is by default).
Microsoft warns that XP SP2 can cause your system to become unbootable,
and I can personally attest to clients who have had severe problems with it.
I recommend you take your PC to a computer serviceman to have the
(Microsoft) problem corrected.
