Hi,
I'm having some problems with my computer. It doesn't boot, which is bad. When i turn it on it does its thing and when it gets to the point where it should load up win xp the screen goes blank. I tried starting it in safe mode, but while loading the drivers it stalls at mup.sys every time. I figured I would just do a fresh install of windows, but when i try to boot off of a cd it runs through all of the driver and device loading and then says starting windows and stalls there forever. I treid using a different copy of the windows xp cd, but that didn't solve the problem. I also went online and searched for mup.sys and prople said that when they had this problem they unplugged a usb2.0 add in card and their system booted, then they reinstalled their add in card and everything worked. The only problem is that I dont have any add in usb cards.
Basically I think i'm screwed, b/c I can't install windows, and I can't boot from my hard drive or a cd...
Please help
Thanks,
Ben
