Newsfactor and others are reporting problems with the new Windows XP update SP3. Check out the NewsFactor story: "System crashes, endless reboots and other problems have been reported with Microsoft's Windows XP Service Pack 3. The problems with SP3 seem to especially affect systems with AMD chips, and a blogger says Hewlett-Packard (HP) systems are especially affected. News reports have Microsoft blaming computer makers for the SP3 problems."

"Users who thought the Windows XP operating system would be more reliable than its younger sibling Vista are being buffeted by reports that the latest update for XP, Service Pack 3, has its own problems.

A variety of complaints about SP3 are being posted on the Web, with users complaining about system crashes, spontaneous reboots, and other issues. On the Windows XP forum at Microsoft .com, for instance, a poster named Doug W. said that, after installing SP3, he had to use system restore "after three attempts, with different configurations each time." He mentioned that his system has an Athlon chip from Advanced Micro Devices, and other users have reported similar problems with SP3 on AMD machines."
