    Welp, I decided to go and install the Windows XP Service Pack 3 RC 2 and to my surprise when the computer rebooted after updating, it rebooted to a blue screen. I was not able to write down the error because the computer rebooted itself quite quickly after it happened. So, whats up with that? I had to reformat my computer because of this issue which was a real pain in the ass. Anyone else have this problem?

    My OS is Windows XP Pro SP 2 btw.

    probably gpu driver conflict, why don't you wait for the official SP3?

    Everyone else is using it and it works fine for them. I just want to get rid of this UT3 problem that I have, which no one else with an m9750 seems to have for some reason.
