You know that windows xp service pack 3 is very unstable and it has many bugs.

When installing windows xp service pack 3 follow this following this follow this including
the software that should be installed:
1.Install (AMD hotfix for sp3) this software should be installed first before installing sp3. Go to softwarepatch.com to download this.
2.Then install sp3 patch after install sp3 hotfix otherwise your system will be unstable.
NOTE: hotfix for sp3 should be installed first then the sp3 patch

In your case right now you have already installed sp3 and for sure you haven't installed hotfix.
I hope you will follow this solution and you know i have encounter this many times.

Is that an Microsoft Official Service Pack? anyways. Try using a System Restore and choose a restore point on your problem.
