I have had more trouble with the system AFTER installing sp3 than I did
before.
Not being an expert, as some here are, I cannot say that sp3 is the problem.
I never got the BSOD with sp2 installed but it has come by 2 times now.
If it continues , I will uninstall sp3 and not worry about futher updates as
xp is a dead OS as far as ms is concerned..
