You can try uninstalling them in safe mode and see if that fixes it (doubt it), reinstalling them in safe mode (better, but doubt it), or google for start up loops with the stuff you just installed. Honestly, you should install linux and just use windows for gaming. And when something goes wrong with windows, you can still get to your data without issue via the linux side.

The first couple of times you shutdown your computer after installing drivers can take a while.
A driver or program is not shutting down properly when you turn off the computer, you can always take crazy_old_man_on_the_hill's advice (which is probably the best way if you have the patience, might take a while) or you can just use the power button on your computer.

was your upgrade legit~
or you torrented it.. in this case you got some messed version of sp3
try reinstalling windows all over again with a fresh start

Don't think whether the SP3 was torrented or not would cause this problem, people don't repackage sp3...(though there was an unofficial sp3 going around a long time ago, but it's usually marked clearly that it's unofficial)
Reinstalling windows will obviously fix the problem.
You installed anything else besides sp3 before this started happening? There might be a conflict between sp3 and whatever driver you are using try
updating all the drivers and see if it fixes it. You can also try disabling each device and see if any particular one fixes the problem (and uninstalling programs too), this might take a while.

@crazy old man-your advice is sound, but asking someone just up and switch to Linux is unrealistic. Linux user become Linux users over time. When you are familiar with one brand of OS you must ignore all that you know when switching to Linux. While it has gotten better over the years for the non-technical audience, it still has some short comings in that area. Users can definatly learn to use it over time, and those that do usually find it rewarding, due to the awesome security and functionality that Linux offers. Overall, Linux kicks, but the standard user cannot 'just switch.'
@Justin777-I know that holding in the power button is not popular, and to be honest, I sometimes cringe, depending on the situation, when I have to hold my power button in to force a shutdown. However, it remains something that has to be done in certain instances, and this seems like a situation that might call for it. In the five years that I have working on machines, I have forced shutdowns more times than I could possibly count. Hundreds of times I'm sure. Be that several dozen machines, but the point remains.
Finally, @-wbacyc-Your advice is completly sound. Everything I was going to say for the past several problems posted here, you had already said. [AT9 gives you rep]Therefore, I am no longer needed here. Everyone that has listened to my advice in the past should instead follow this man, as I won't be seen in this section that much anymore. He's got my approval, if that means anything...
...well, I've gotta move like a herd of turtles. I hope your problems get solved, but following the advice listed here, while time consuming, should resolve your issues. [AT9]
