 XP SP3 cripples some PCs with endless reboots
Only AMD systems affected, says former Microsoft security manager | Installing SP3 sends some PCs into an endless series of reboots, according to posts to a MS support forum. Jesper Johansson, a former program manager for security policy at Microsoft Corp. and a prominent Windows blogger, has worked with users to tentatively identify the problem as involving only machines using processors from AMD
Messages from frustrated users began accumulating on the XP SP3 support newsgroup Wednesday, just a day after Microsoft release an update to the general public.
"I just installed Windows XP SP3 and after completing the processes and when the system reboots, the system cannot proceed to load the Windows," said a user identified as "Olin" in a message that kicked off a long thread. "It just displays the flash screen of Windows then after it reboots again." | Rest here
