I've seen other news items on the net about this issue. Not sure what to
tell you other than they're working on it...

I had a similar issue after installing sp3, I got a bluescreen even in safe
mode. Dell tech support tried every other option but I had to reformat my
disk and reinstall everything. 4 days of fun! You would think they would test
this thing before releasing it, but it seems they would rather have customers
do that for them. You and I are the lucky ones.

Same thing for me, but I can log in in safe mode and remove SP3, after that
everything works fine except my antivirus Norton.
If somebody have an issue to install SP3 without blue screen error, write it

Same thing here..I had to spend hours with microsoft help in chat on my
hubby's computer to fix it with my reinstallation dvd..After jumping through
hoops we were finally able to use the Recovery Console on the dvd to
uninstall sp3..Everything is fine now but I won't be upgrading any time soon
