Intel-based PC constantly rebooting after Service Pack 3 install

I know many of people were having this problem, but since my PC doesn't have an AMD processor, I'm not sure what to do.
My PC is an HP Pavilion with an Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz. I don't exactly know the model number and since I'm away from home I can't look at it right now.
I installed Service Pack 3 the other day and I'm getting the common error where the computer is constantly rebooting. I'm hesitant to do what the following link suggests since it seems to be only applicable to AMD computers:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01457284
I can't boot in Safe Mode nor the last known working configuration. I don't have the recovery disks and I don't have a copy of XP for reformatting either. I figure my answer is in the Recovery Console?
Since I can't post from home this'll be a slow process. What should I do? Thank for reading!

Try altering the Windows registry key as follows. Once it is completed then once again begin installation of SP3:
1. Click Start - Run - Type “regedit” and press enter.
2. Navigate to
HKEYLOCALMACHINE
\Software
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Setup
3. In the right pane, Right-click and select New - String value
4. Name it as “BootDir” and set its value to “C:\”
This should help. Try installing SP3 and should work fine.

IQ770 crashed after service pack 1 automatic update.

after service pack one was downloaded ,while on line i would get kicked off.eventually windows wouldnt boot up,and then received a blue screen with an error message saying windows has shut down to prevent further damage to the computer.then the computer would only boot up in safe mode.i tried system restore in safe mode,but it did not work.i called hp technical support. they told me i need to do a system recovery.i tried a system recovery through the hard drive, it went through the whole process,and i thought it was going to work,but when it was time for windows to boot up the computer froze.the tech said i need to purchase a recovery cd and it should work.i ordered it and i followed the directions and ran the cd.when the disc was complete the screen was white,and there was no response of any kind.then after a few hours i shut the computer off.when i turned it back on there was nothing but a screen with vertical colored lines,and no response.i have had the computer for 14 months when this happened.i don't know what to do? has this happened to anyone els?

hi, ive got almost the same problem. I just haven't followed through on the back-up as far as you have. good thing, it looks like. I've almost filled my hard drive, now going on 19mos later. i wish i could help. my video is fine, i think. ive ran every free malware, virus, defender and anti spyware prog i could find for this. and got rid of a lot of supposed threats. but the problems get worse and worse. lately i cant get my hardware to work right. seems one thing after another one piece or another seems to go out. weird thing is: the drivers say they are totally updated just for some reason not working and needs to go online but wireless and ethernet both have "hardware connection errors" so i cant get the sucker online. then my system speakers are out. ive tried uninstalling, disabnling, updating via sd card and hp and microsofts sites (all the trials and errors not necessarily in chronological order) but i dont know what to do. winlogon shuts off, oembios shuts off, now i look over and windows explorer keeps going out aaaaaaarrrrrrgh, i dont have that much money to get new warranty. <text deleted> since i cant get online with mine its not up to me when i can check my email. but if someone wants to try and troubleshoot this with me via messenger if im on or email id really appreciate it. im at a loss cuz im normaly the it tech to go to for vista, but now im lost and would really appreciate any and all info or idea...even if ive tried it, maybe my sequencing was off and im willing to retry ....thanks

Macbook Air constantly rebooting after installing Mavericks... this was my fix

Just in case this helps anyone.
I installed Mavericks on my Mac without an issue. When it restarted, my Mac would constantly reboot after a few minutes. It didn't matter if I logged in or not. I tried the various things that have been suggested (reset NVRAM, CMOS, running a disk check) but nothing help. If I booted into safe mode, I would not have any problems.
The issue ended up being some systems extensions in my /System/Library/Extensions folder. I had installed and deleted Trend Micro Smart Surfing a while ago by using the manual uninstall (move the application to the trash) which leaves the system extensions it had added intact (there was a Trend Micro folder in /System/Library/Extensions).
I reinstalled the software and then used the uninstaller that came with the program and after I rebooted, everything worked fine. I checked the /System/Library/Extensions folder and could see that the Trend Micro folder had been removed by the uninstaller.
I would suggest looking at the /System/Library/Extensions folder and comparing to what is in the applications folder. If you something in the extensions folder but not in the application one, you might be having the same type of issue that I was having.

Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery.

Thanks in advance

Getting series of short dumps 'CALL_FUNCTION_REMOTE_ERROR'
Error while calling '
call function 'RH_GET_WFD_ID' destination 'NONE''
But RFC destinations are working fine.

Sites Intermittently Not Responding After Service Pack 2

Got a strange intermittent issue occurring after we upgraded our SharePoint 2010 farm to Service Pack 2.
The upgrade was successful on all of our servers with no errors and generally performance is a little quicker as should be expected. However we have an intermittent issue where some site collections within the main web application become unresponsive.
We have 2 front end servers sitting behind a network load balancer.
All sites have a dedicated content database.
The issue occurs on either front end server.
An app pool recycle fixes the issue until it occurs again, however we can't go recycling app pools constantly during business hours as we have around 3000 users connecting to our SharePoint portal.
ULS logs and event logs don't show anything abnormal really (however just dialled up the logging to verbose to look into it further).
Any suggestions?

Hi,
By default, the application pool is set to recycle at a specific time automatically in IIS.
So the issue you met may be due to the application pool cannot be recycled automatically or the recycle was crashed.
I recommend to check IIS log for SharePoint web application and
System event logs on the IIS server for the corresponding web application to see the error message.

After Service Pack 2 update sound stopped working

Recently started again with my Satellite laptop. All was good and everything worked perfectly until i download Service pack 2. Ever since doing that the audio has stopped working.
I'm a bit novice but have tried the following:
I uninstalled the driver and downloaded the appropriate drivers from the Realtek website. reinstalled but still get the same problem. no error messages but just "Driver is enabled but has not been started" in the properties screen for the sound and device properties.
Can anyone offer a solution?

Hi
Youre right. I have read that on some notebooks the sound doesnt work after XP SP2 installation.
But the update instillation should help.
Could you please post you notebook name?

Tx2510us - Fingerprint Reader Not Detected after Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 installed

Have had Windows 7 32-Bit installed and running fine since early last year.. Today Windows Update installed Service Pack 1.
Now, the fingerprint reader (AuthenTec AES1610) is not detected. Digital Persona reported the fingerprint reader isn't connected and the Device Manager shows installed and working properly.. When the computer boots, the logon screen shows not detected..
Have seen several older posts that reference a page with a fix for AuthenTec/Digital Persona, but get a 403 error when trying to access..
Hoping someone still has this info, or possibly there's a new fix to work with Service Pack 1..
Thanks
~~~~ Nothings forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten. ~~~~

Followed the given advice: installed SP1 again, ran Firefox in safemode, disabled other running programs as mutorrent, still Firefox didnt work. I had internetconnection (after restarting mutorrent this did work, the app telling me what the weather outside is worked) but no Firefox: as previous time I got the start screen, but could not browse the internet.
I also tried to start the Internet Explorer and it also looked as if that application had problems (but that can also be because I did not use it for a while - old version or whatever - and it is not my standard browser).
Have again performed a roll back in order to remove SP1, now Firefox works again.
If somebody has advice it would be very welcome!

IPad 2 constantly rebooting after ios 7 update

Have you tried to reset iPad?
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

IPad mini retina constantly reboots after iOS 8.1 update - help!

Hello,
I've downloaded on iPad mini Retina 16 GB iOS 8.1 update and installed it directly from the device (so no iTunes involvement). After it got installed with black apple on white screen (process seemed to be finished) - it started rebooting, but instead of starting up it shows shortly (for just a second) blue screen, after goes black and then reboots again - and all this in constant flux: white screen with black apple - blue flash - black screen - white screen with apple. Connecting to iTunes doesn't make anything - it doesn't recognise the device while in state of reboot.
What can I do?
Help!

Hey there,
Got exactly the same problem here. Can't even reset/ shut off the device, so it keeps on flashing with the blue screen.

Unable to activate after Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455) is deployed

I'm having a very strange issue with deploying the "Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455)". Here's what I see:
Deploying to a Windows 7 SP1 system fully patched as of 7/29/2013
Using SCCM 2007 R3
Task Sequence installs Office Professional Plus 2010
Task Sequence installs Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455)
The Office Professional Plus 2010 install was configured to use our key using the Office Custimization Tool (setup.exe /admin)
When I try to activate the suite using any of the installed applications (word, excel, outlook or powepoint) I get the error "An unspecified error has occurred. Your request cannot be processed at this time. Please try again later. (0x80070190)"
If I repair the install then try the activation again it works right away. This is a good work around for single installs but for my needs of multiple system deployment and for pushing out the Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455) to other systems
in my environment this will not work.
Can anyone please suggest a solution to this problem?
Thank you,

Hi
According to my research, this issue occurs when one of the following conditions are true:
If you have CD emulation software installed, a registry key is preventing the hardware ID from being acquired.
A required registry key is not set correctly or is missing.

SharePoint 2013 Update Workflow Manager problems after Service Pack 1

Hello guys,
I've installed the service pack 1 for SharePoint 2013 and then I tried to update the workflow manager, but I always get an error message that the workflow manager could not be updated!
Is the installing order wrong? should I first install the update for the worklfow manager and then the update for SharePoint 2013?

Bootcamp: Bluetooth not working after Service Pack 1

Hi.
I just updated to Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and now the Bluetooth isn't working. It isn't appearing under the taskbar icons thing like it normally does. I haven't found a solution on Google, and System Restore isn't working either.
Please help! It was fine before the update!

You shoud be in the Microsoft Windows support forums as this is a Windows issue, my only suggestion would be to use Windows System restore to roll back the update. You may get more on the Microsoft Forums.
