Answer 1

It's a common problem with Dell and HP computers with AMD processors. You need to change the registry setting of "Start" to value "4" in this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\intelppm
before upgrading to SP3

Since it's already failed, you'll need to uninstall the SP. Directions here for that.
