I going to try again if I disapear for a week you know why lol.

My guess is that systems that will not boot, will work without reinstall once the BIOS is updated. While it's a good idea to at least try contacting them for a new BIOS, unfortunately Asus couldn't care less.

I've been emailing them for years about their bad links and website errors, and they don't even care about that. If MS would have fully tested SP3, none of us would be having any problems. Cheers that worked dunno why because I try it before after ten days of trying it gone in and everything fine. You think people like me are going to install SP3 when even on SP2 updates they interfere with programs. Some of the ones in May cut me off from the net or interfered with programs.

I have firewall and a router. I have to at least once a month reinstall something. The SP should have been broken up into smaller updates No service pack should interfere with internet connections. Well that's good While I know this may sound crazy, I had installed SP3 during a maintanence run for my company and had the reboot cycle and could not even boot into safe mode, unplugged everything from the back except the monitor and power obviously and it fired right up I'm sure it had nothing to do with SP3 but Even yo you do not have an AMD chipset it might provide some pointers towards a solution.

Thank you for Microsoft! Just when I was beginning to think you had your act together a stunt like releasing SP3 that kills AMD machines shows me you can still royally screw things up! I know this will not help those that already have the continous reboot problem, but we have noticed at my work that if, at the end of the SP3 upgrade, you choose to manually shut down your computer instead of letting the installer do it for you it doesn't enter the reboot cycle.

This has worked on both Intel and AMD systems that, if we let the installer reboot, were going into the reboot cycle. You must mean restart, right? It doesn't prompt to shutdown, but restart. Please clarify that you mean when it asks to restart your PC, you say no to that and restart on your own. I know this wont help anyone who has already installed SP3 but if you download the standalone SP3 file and boot your computer into safe mode, then do the install it seems to work fine. I found this out after installing it in a normal windows boot on 2 HP Compaq that use intel chip sets.

Very interesting, thanks for that info. Nothing should be running in the background anyway when installing anything, especially a SP. Can you say what all was running in the background during the SP3 install on the PC's that had the problem? LLNEO wrote:. Are all the PC's identical? If so, then this could be a major breakthrough. If not Clint D wrote:. That mobo was the only one that supported my ancient Athlon Thunderbird processor. The only reason I am now seeing this issue is that my hard disk died, and I had to replace it.

Then, I decided to run Windows Update and get the latest updates while I was at it. There were recommended updates, so I installed them all. I got the same issue as SP3 reboots that is mentioned here. I assumed something went wrong in my install, so I reformatted and reinstalled again. This time, I downloaded SP3 and installed instead of waiting for those updates.

Same thing. I got to the profile selection screen, I chose my user any of them , it loaded my McAfee VirusScan software splash screen , and then it rebooted.

I booted into safe mode with networking and turned off automatic reboots. It then, instead of rebooting, would go to a black screen of death not blue and with no stop message or anything displayed at all.

I checked the registry before uninstalling SP3, and I don't even have the key they say to modify. I uninstalled SP3 and it boots fine. Now, however, many of my apps are messed up. For instance, I double-click IE on the desktop, and it makes a shortcut for IE on the desktop under the original icon. It does this every time. The IE icon in the Quick Launch toolbar works fine.

My start page loads google. This is irritating. Is there some email list we can get on so we can be notified when it is safe to install SP3? I don't want to go through this again in the future, and I'm going to run XP2 with no updates for now to avoid it. Just this one old system is giving me fits. And don't install SP3 this time! Come to think of it, the fix is probably on this thread. Also I guess the laptop details would be helpful as well.

This is important so we can keep a record of what PC's are affected, and NOT affected in order to expedite a fix. Does anyone know how to get in touch with "LLNeo" and "Bryce" mentioned in my posts above?

This is ridiculous not having any IM or PM features at these forums, for that exact reason. It's particularly important that LLNeo responds, that could be a very important issue. SP3 isnt worth all this trouble. Hey thanks for that info. So can you please post all the details of these PC's?

The mobo brand and model, and any periph devices hooked up and what connector types they're using USB, firewire, parallel, etc. This could be really important to MS for this fix. Yeah I believe SP3 also screws up the registry. I have rolled back using system restore, and it works fine for now. I would like for my family to be able to use this computer while I'm gone. So, I've turned off auto updates and will leave it at the clean SP2 state for now.

I just happened to see and install them along with SP3 I never visit Windows Update anymore since they do those auto updates. I would hate to add to the noise and screw up your signal-to-noise ratio by leaving my "SP3 killed my system" post without this reply. I believe you are right in assuming that the error is driver related Via Rhine is my suspect , but it might as well be the Bios of the Motherboard. That's interesting. When you rolled it back, did that go back to the older installer, or just went back to the older LAN and sound card drivers?

But I've yet to hear about audio drivers causing it. If you make any positive definite conclusions, please state if your LAN and audio are totally separate, as in totally separate chipsets and controllers integrated on the mobo, or a PCI card. There are others that have posted here on Intel is why I ask. It isn't an AMD subject. Correct, it happens on all platforms. However, the fix for the two is generally completely different usually the intelppm.

See the original post again. I can't play World of Warcraft without the computer restarting or crashing. XP doesn't give a warning, there is no error message popup, and I cannot set Verify ON via the Dos screen it resets to Off on reboot, Computer Browser service in MMC restarts the comp in 5 minutes on connection to Warcraft game server.

I disable the Computer Browser service It still happens. You need to start a new thread for that specifically for WoW since that is unrelated. A Search of the hard drive fails to locate this file, it does not exist. As noted in 1 above the restart still happens. I'm not familiar with those specific issues. Regarding 2; the EV is always loaded with errors and warnings and if they are not causing any specific crashes or are not related to specific crashes or problems, I'd ignore it.

I know it may be hard to do, I'm the kind of person that must know what's causing an event, but trying to track them down can be a waste of time. I know there is one to restart, but I can't remember if the other one is there. Maybe it will show up if the option to automatically restart is selected. The snap-ins can cause some errors, but they can usually be ignored by selection the option to "ignore from now on" or something like that.

The snap-ins can be any kind of 3rd-Party app that uses a part of the MMC, like defrag apps. See Diskeeper below. If you have any kind of snap-in installed that uses the MMC, and it "likes" the previous v2.

The only way around this usually is for the vendor to come up with newer versions that work with MMC 3. Finally, things to note. That is not an unusual home user setup in Australia. Clipbook may get another chance when I install the AV. It helped me a little bit with the internet when I put it on Automatic, then back to Manual.

I too have a lot of those you list disabled, but some I don't since they are needed depending on how one uses their PC. Its my box, and I'm 49 years old I'm entitled to have some interest in my own thing and what that thing will be.

I am trying to config the system so it is running well first, so far this is not happening the way SP3 installs the services settings. Unless something else proves to be in the way, like a trojan or something. So am I, well at least I'll be 49 next month. Damn we're getting old. I restored the system to a factory-fresh install, installed SP3 right away, and got stuck in an infinite reboot. However, I was still able to boot into safe mode without any trouble.

Reboot, and Windows should boot up normally. Also, you can do this step before you even start the SP3 install, and then the problem will never occur in the first place.

I ended in an Reboot looping Safe mode not accessible at all. I had to resintall windows.
