After installing sp3 on a HP Pavilion a1130n the computer continuously
reboots once you see the windows xp logo.

After visiting the website for HP and my model I saw it was do to sp3 being
installed on computers with AMD processors. Heres what it says in a download
for a update utility to fix the problem.

"Description

Microsoft Windows XP SP3 Upgrade Utility prevents continuous system restarts
or "Stop: 0x0000007E" errors after upgrading to Windows XP SP3 on systems
with AMD processors.

Fixes

Prevents a condition from occurring that causes continuous system restarts
or "Stop: 0x0000007E" errors after upgrading to Microsoft Windows XP Service
Pack 3 on systems with an AMD processor.

Example:"A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to
prevent damage to your computer..."

The only problem if I cant install the update if I cant boot up the
computer. I have tried using safe mode and last successful settings. It also
says I have to install it before I install sp3.

I don't have the disks that came with the computer, but I do have a stand
alone windows xp professional sp2 disk.

Any help would be great. Thank you.
