Ever since XP SP3 came out, my system has been hosed.

There are known problems with SP3 and AMD processors.
There are known problems with SP3 and Norton Antivirus.

I don't have either of these, so I wasn't really paying attention, but
you can check at  WindowsSecrets.com. Look for the free edition with
date 5/29/08.

"The problems with XP SP3 include AMD-based Hewlett-Packard desktop
computers constantly rebooting and Symantec antivirus products
developing strange behaviors."

There may be other problems as well, but I think this has you covered.

Thanks for the info Jim, but I'm neither running an HP nor NAV. My
system is a beige box, with Windows installed from the original
Windoze CD instead of a manufacturer image.
