I have just read that HP is asking their customers to hold on the SP3 upgrade if they have AMD-based computers. One possible cause for the endless reboot problem is that many OEM’s, including HP, used disc images that were made for Intel-based systems in their AMD offerings.

Microsoft and OEM’s are working in a patch that will take care of this issue. Meanwhile, refer to my previous post about this to possible solutions.
