What's the recommended way to recover from a failed Windows Update on XP?

Restore from your last backup.

That. Also, the symptoms sound like a system fucked up from a hardware fault.

Run memtest86 (for 12-24 hours), check SMART for your hard drive. Most
likely culprit is faulty RAM.

Of course, the usual other cases like viruses also apply.
