It affects certain OEM computers in particular, most notably HP. The problem was first reported the day after the re-release of SP3 to the mainstream and was the cause of much angst among Windows users in a Microsoft TechNet forum, leading to speculation that once again, Microsoft had released another buggy service pack.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, it may actually be the OEM at fault. The problem appears to manifest itself after Service Pack 3 is installed on a computer with an AMD processor and pre-installed with an XP image that was originally created on an Intel based PC. The image installs intelppm.sys, a driver for power management in Intel PCs and amdk8.sys, a power management driver for AMD based computers. Running intelppm.sys on an AMD processor will cause it to reboot constantly. In reality it causes a STOP error 0x0000007e, however if the computer is configured to automatically restart it will endlessly reboot too fast to display the blue screen.&nbsp; If you set the computer to &quot;disable the automatic restart on system failure&quot; and you see that error code, you have the issue.<\/p>\n<p>You can download the fix from his web site at <a href=\"https:\/\/msinfluentials.com\/blogs\/jesper\/archive\/2008\/05.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Jesper&#39;s Blog\">Jesper&#39;s Blog<\/a> . <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jdoqocy.com\/click-2823536-10439956\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.awltovhc.com\/image-2823536-10439956\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Put your business on TV with Spot Runner\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(TheForceField.Net) May 15, 2008 &#8212; A former security employee for Microsoft issued a fix for computers plagued by the constant reboot issue caused by Windows XP Service Pack 3 yesterday.&nbsp; In a series of posts in his blog, Jesper Johanssen, Microsoft Security MVP and former Microsoft employee, discussed the reboot problem and released a script &#8230; <a title=\"Former Microsoft Employee offers fix for XP SP3 Reboot Issue\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theforcefield.net\/podcast\/former-microsoft-employee-offers-fix-for-xp-sp3-reboot-issue-1020\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Former Microsoft Employee offers fix for XP SP3 Reboot Issue\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":346,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[743,94,93],"class_list":["post-1067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest","tag-former-microsoft-exec-offers-fix-for-xp-sp3-reboot-issue","tag-latest-news","tag-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Former Microsoft Employee offers fix for XP SP3 Reboot Issue - The Force Field Podcast<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theforcefield.net\/podcast\/former-microsoft-employee-offers-fix-for-xp-sp3-reboot-issue-1020\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Former Microsoft Employee offers fix for XP SP3 Reboot Issue - The Force Field Podcast\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"(TheForceField.Net) May 15, 2008 &#8212; A former security employee for Microsoft issued a fix for computers plagued by the constant reboot issue caused by Windows XP Service Pack 3 yesterday.&nbsp; In a series of posts in his blog, Jesper Johanssen, Microsoft Security MVP and former Microsoft employee, discussed the reboot problem and released a script ...
