XP Service Pack 3 CRASH

[Susan K]

Hi

Wonder if someone could advise please

yesterday this computer was well due a format and re-install
of win XP

this was all done correctly --all ok so far

windows update went straight after service pack 3 update
set it off all seemed to go ok until its restart computer time

boot up stopped about half way thru and then auto restarted boot up
this kept happening in a continuos loop effect

managed to start in safe mode and used system restore
to get back in hence why i am able to write this

clearly something is amiss
question is what

cheers

Why ? - just curious .

Same thing is happening to me, twice. I was told you can install SP3 from
SAFE mode. Haven't tried that yet. I'm a bit afraid to try it again.

Samething happened to me except after my format it tells me the recovery cds
are not supported by my pc? Anyone got any ideas how I can get it to accept
my recovery cds? I even tried a brand new Hard drive but same thing happens.

Sorry, I can't help, but after SP3 installs, my computer HP with Media
Edition crashes on restart, blue error screen. I have to start safe mode and
restore to prior state. I've tried it 3 times, same problem. Somebody
somewhere must be working on how to solve this.

You really should upgrade to SP3. There is free unlimited tech support
for SP3 installation issues from Microsoft available via chat, email, or
telephone. To find a link to that support have a look at the links in
the following page.

<http://www.rayslinks.com/Windows XP SP3 installation.html>

There are many links there specific to installing SP3 so have a read and
get up to speed.

Above is the link for free MS XP SP3 Support.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389

And above is all info re XP SP3.
That tells you the prep work re earlier Service Packs req'd, etc, and there
is a download link for the Standalone version, about 1/2 way down the page.

You don't mention you PC make or model, is it a HP/Compaq AMD processor by
any chance.
