winXP SP3 problem

I have download the windows xp serivce pack3 twice now. both time it
downloads ok but when it restarts mt computer it goes to the screen that my
computer was shut down for an error, or power failure . it gives me the
option to restart my computer in normal mode, safe mode, safe networking
mode, or restore to last known good configuration. i have tried all 4. the
first 3 it goes on like it is starting then takes me directly back to the
same page asking which mode to start in. the only one i can get to work is
restoring back to last known good configuration befor the service pack was
loaded . has anyone else had this same issue, or know how i can fix this?
thanks for the help !!!
