Removing SP3 itself also was not smooth - the un-installation has failed with 'file not found'. Hibernation became impossible - computer was saving the state without a problem, but when trying to wake up, it said that the file was corrupted.Ĥ. I have no explanation or even an idea about what might be causing this and how it was possible, but again, this never happened before, and never came back after having SP3 removed.ģ. In about 10 minutes, everything magically restored to the normal state during these 10 minutes, even complete turning off the PSU did not have any effect. After hard reset, there was long beeeeep instead of short normal one, and again no video signal. Suddenly, in the middle of work, the screen would slowly flash several times, after which video signal (NVidia 7800GS) went off and computer (mobo Abit AV8) became unresponsive. There also was another, more scary effect. After the removal, not one blue screen.Ģ. Haven't seen as many blue screens in 3 years before SP3. After having used released SP3 for 3 weeks, I have removed it.ġ.
