XP SP3 Crashes Some AMD Machines

Posted by kdawson on from the workarounds-emerge dept.

Stony Stevenson alerts us to new information on the XP SP3-induced crashes that we discussed a few days back. Jesper Johansson, a former program manager for security policy at Microsoft, is maintaining an ongoing log and support site for users affected by any of several problems triggered by XP3. Machines using AMD hardware, particularly HP desktops, seem to have several modes of failure; others affect Intel machines.

    No it doesn't ...

    10 Million copies shipped
        3 People say they have no problems
            That's nice
        2 People say they have problems
            We have at least two unhappy cutomers

    The two that complain are the tip of the iceberg ...you know you have a problem but do not know the scale of it ...
