Windows XP SP3 sends PCs into endless reboot
My no.1 PC has an AMD Athlon64 processor and I got a blue STOP screen after installing XP SP3. My first reaction was to use System Restore, no problems here & it went back to SP2, however I then carried out a small change to the registry on a recommendation:-
"Windows XP SP3
After installing, go to Safe mode, open Regedit
Go to (or similar key)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Intelppm\Start
change the Start value to 4, then reboot & all should be well."
This cured the problem & my Windows XP SP3 is now up and running OK.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
