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.
The problem applies to all AMD machines, not just HP. There's some
file that's used only for intel machines that gets loaded by mistake.
The details are in the article.
