SP3 rebooting

[JenA]

The SP3 update just installed and now the laptop continuously reboots. It
will startup correctly if I take the wireless internet card out, but as soon
as I put it back in I get a blue screen error message saying the windows has
been shut down DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
So now what do I do?
Laptop is a SONY VAIO about 5-6 years old and running fine this morning
before the update installed.

perhaps, you should
restore your system
to a functional date
and leave well enough
alone...

Uninstall SP3, and disable the SP3 update, then look for a driver update for
your wireless.

See if this applies. I too got burned with this.

Thank you for the suggestion. I did the uninstall, so I'll see if it works...

What wireless card are you using. Dlink has problems with their drivers and do not have fix yet.
