SP3 doesn't work on all PCs.  Mine at home gets caught in an infinite reboot
loop if I put SP3 on it.  Known issue with the particular motherboard.

It was a painful process to get it to stop doing that- it would not even go
to
safe mode.  I ended up having to boot to an install CD and use the repair
console.
