Hi

Service pack 3 on installation causes the computer to hang at the Windows logo page on reboot. Any ideas on what could cause that or how to fix it?

Do you have an HP machine with an AMD processor?

I Have the exact problem[After installing XP including all addon and drivers etc etc, on the systems first boot up it hangs with black screen but i can enter through safemode disabled all startup no use. ] and still now not clear what to do please help.

My system is AMD 3000+ and AsusK8v board with 1Gb ram but not HP an assembled one. It also happens in my friends house. I use nvidia driver(FW 91.47) integrated with setup to support my XFX 5200Fx card.

Thanks a lot..........

Might i ask how SP3 was slipstreamed in?

Did you use an addon pack?

Are you using a language OTHER than english?

I slipstreamed the english SP3 installer into and SP2 install disk no problem. nLite handled it like a charm.

I'd make sure you've got SP1 AND sp2 before slipping SP3 into the mix.

Also, try a perfectly stock XP install (no addons, drivers, options etc) with SP3 slipstreamed in and see if its a driver conflict.

As for the fact its an AMD, I cant help. I'm running an intel and I'm testing on VMs anyway

its works when you have orig xp cd

but when you have vindows vista then you must delete all hdd format full from dos

then work the nlite cd

Gerry.Curtis,

If you have an AMD CPU, you might give this a try.

It is for continuous reboot, but it may help. Please let us know.
