Re: HP 1310n (AMD ATHON Processor and SP3 UPDATE

I used the option to boot in the safe mode run:
sc config intelppm start= disabled

This is for only being able to boot in the safe mode after installing SP3.
It's still working fine. :)

Continual reboots or can only boot into Safe Mode after installing WinXP
SP3?

Workarounds:

1. Boot into Safe Mode and rename INTELPMM.SYS to INTELPMM.OLD.

2. After booting into Safe Mode:

Start | Run | (copy/paste) sc config intelppm start= disabled | OK | Reboot
into normal (Windows) mode.

I received this fix from HP. It works! (only for AMD Athon processor)

Hello Clifford,

Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.

I gather from your email that you own an HP Pavilion Media Center a1310n
Desktop PC and you are experiencing an issue after installing the Windows
XP
Service Pack 3(SP3). The system will not boot and you receive a message
“Windows XP failed to start”. After uninstalling the Windows XP SP3 the
system works fine.

I understand your concern and will look forward to provide you with
appropriate information.

Clifford, please get back to us with the exact error message that you
receive. This will help us to isolate the issue. To prevent the system
from
crashing, you need to set an option during startup. To do so, hit the F8
key
during restart right when you see the black Windows XP screen come up.
Then
select the "Disable automatic restart on system failure" option.

Then perform the steps provided below.

Creating a backup copy of the registry for Microsoft(R) Windows XP:

1. Click Start, and then Run. The Run window will appear.
2. In the Open box, type: REGEDIT
3. Click OK. The Registry Editor window will appear.
4. Click Registry or File, and then click Export... or Export Registry
File. 5. The Export Registry File window will appear.
6. In the Savein drop down box, select Desktop.
7. In the Filename box, type: Backup
8. In the Saveastype drop down box, select Registration Files.
9. In the Export range area, select all.
10. Click Save. The Export Registry File window will close and a copy of
the
registry will be located on the desktop.
11. Close the Registry Editor window.
12. The registry has been copied.

To fix the problem, boot into safe mode, or boot to a WinPE disk, or into
the recovery console, and disable the intelppm.sys driver.

WARNING: Do NOT under any circumstance disable the intelppm driver on an
Intel-based computer. It will make your computer not boot! If your
computer
will not boot because you disabled the intelppm driver on an Intel-based
computer, follow the directions in the Recovery Console section below.

If you have an AMD-based computer, however, you do not need the intelppm
driver and can disable it. Boot into Safe Mode by hitting the F8 key as
above, but select Safe Mode instead. You will need your Administrator
account to log on in safe mode. To disable the driver, take the following
steps:

If you booted into the recovery console, from a command prompt, run
"disable
intelppm"

If you booted into safe mode you can run "sc config intelppm start=
disabled"

If you booted into WinPE, you have to manually edit the registry. Do this:

1. Run regedit
2. Click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. From the File menu, select "Load hive"
4. Navigate to %systemdriver%\Windows\System32\Config on the dead system
and
select the file name System
5. Name it something you can remember, such as "horked"
6. Navigate to horked\ControlSet001\Services\IntelPPM
7. Double click the Start value and set it to 4
8. If you did what I did and completely destroyed things by running a disk
check, navigate to ControlSet001\Control\SessionManager. Open the
BootExecute value and clear out the autochk entries
9. Repeat steps 6-8 for the other control sets.
10. Reboot.

be
happy to assist you further.
