[THIN] My 64-bit Vista Ultimate PC keeps rebooting after installing SP1

I had previously installed service pack 1 for Vista Ultimate on one of my desktop machines several weeks ago.  And I have had no problems at all.  So I decided to go ahead and install the 64-bit version of SP1 onto my 64-bit version of Vista Ultimate.  However, that did NOT work.  In fact, it is rebooting itself over and over again.  I have heard that this sometimes happens, but I had also heard that Microsoft had come out with a fix for this issue, and then re-issued the service pack.  However, after installing SP1 for 64-bit version of Vista (I made certain I had chosen the correct version of the service pack) I am encountering this problem and do not know how to resolve it.  What do I do to fix it?  It will not allow me to log into fix, instead it spends its time going into the Windows Error Recovery window, from which I can do nothing, and then it restarts itself again.  So it is now in an endless loop.  This really sucks, as this IS my primary development machine!  So, I really need help here.  Please, let me know what I am supposed to do, or point me to where I am supposed to go, to get this fixed.
 
BTW, I have tried booting into Safe Mode, but that hasn't worked either as it just reboots itself almost immediately.  It does seem to hang, though, on a crcdisk.sys just before it reboots.
