GeoR,
Check out this thread. AMD OEM systems seem to have problems.

I noticed your Post on Computing.net. There was a very informative article posted

NOTE: If you are up-to-date from Windows Update, there is nothing new in SP3 (sans
rumors), except problems.

There's nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.
