I downloaded the service pack yesterday. It went as follows, loading 1 out 3 files OK, 2 out of 3 files OK then at about 38 % of 3 out of 3 files my system crashed. I got the blue screen indicating I had a hardware or software problem. I was able to get the installation restarted using safe mode but it took hours to get to the 100%. It then said the upgrade had failed and it would revert back but it couldn't and it kept shutting down and tried to revert back. This just kept happening.
In the end I used a back up I had with Acronis True Image and set my system back to the previous day and now I am back to normal.
I think I will hold off updating the service pack and see how other people fair.
