Why does my computer not work after installing Windows XP Service Pack?

Question

I installed the update and my computer went into an endless boot screen, it kept saying it had problems and asking what mode I wanted to boot up with and then it would start all over. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I hope you don't have an AMD processor.  There's a known endless reboot problem with them and Service Pack 3.  Do a Yahoo! search on "AMD reboot".

Here's one result in particular:
