I went to upgrade to SP3 and I received the same problem, although the computer rebooted so quickly, I never had a chance to see what the BSOD said. I called the manufacturer, and the tech support said to find the intelppm registry key then change the value from a 0 to a 4. Once I did that in safe mode and rebooted, I never had any further problems. All of the computers that I bought were Systemax AMD computers from Tiger Direct, so I would not blame it on HP so quickly.

From Microsoft's standpoint, there is a finite number of systems they can test the release against. They can't take the blame for an OEM installing the wrong drivers. Mark wrote:

I had not installed SP3 yet, almost did last week, but was too lazy. I would have been soooo unhappy. Thanks for the tip! I had not installed SP3 yet, almost did last week, but was too lazy.

Still no joy. Then I found the workaround. I will now wait for ms or hp to fix sp3 so it installs on my puter with no workaround. I read earlier today that should be sometime next week. If I find the link again I will post it. I had this issue with my puter, after numerous attempts with no luck I finally did a clean reinstall of the os. Still no joy. Then I found the workaround.
