>Thanks. It turns out, I've gotten two defective processors. I'm getting a new one,
"Defective processors are rare, and having 2 is outright near impossible."
I have encountered this issue with Mup.sys merely by changing the hard drive with
windows XP on it to a system that is identical in every way. And even had this occur
simply by changing the microprocessor for an identical one... my guess is that windows
XP somehow is accessing the hardware ID in the microprocessor, (even though I always
have it turned off in the BIOS).
MUP.sys - Multiple UNC provider...x
heres a fix posted on another site
Start the Recovery console or..
Start the computer with the boot disks or Windows CDROM
After the Welcome to Setup dialog box appears, press R to repair, and then press
C to start Recovery console.
Choose install Windows and log on as Administrator.
At the command prompt type "disable Mup.sys"
"MUP stands for "Multiple UNC Provider" which assists Windows in locating resources
when more than one redirector is on a machine such as "Microsoft Client for Microsoft
Networks" and the "Novell Client for Novell Netware". When a connection to a server
is requested it does not know if the request is to a Novell server or an NT server.
It will start looking for the server with the primary protocol on the primary requestor
and then continue looking for the server on each protocol bound to each redirector
until the server is found."
Restart the computer and all should be well.
