CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT? SERIOUS PROBLEMS !!

[DiabolicVenom]

okey here's the thing : never had any problems i couldn't fix but yesterday i approved an update (service pack 3 & java-update) now i aborted the service pack update and my pc started acting weird. every game/video/graphic/... i try to open my screen starts blinking on, out, on, out and it takes a wile to recover and nothing i can do about it. suddenly every shield and other security has been disabled and i cannot activate it, pressed it 100 times, it won't start. i even tried many times (systeemherstel) system recovery, couple times in safe mode and tried the previous working settings... nothing!! does anyone know what went wrong cause my pc is totally fucked up...

Yes, you should update your XP to SP3.
You also should update your avast! to 6.0.1367 afterwards.
