I have almost the same problem. After I upgraded my video card to Radeon 9500Pro,
my computer randomly halt in games, NWN, C&C Generals. How ever, all other programs
run well.
The problem is much more serious after I changed my CPU from Duron 1.2G to Athlon
XP 2400+. The computer halts all the time. It takes long time to enter windows xp,
can not pass 3DMark 03, can not pass disk error check, can not enter safe mode (some
time can).
I tried almost everything I can, changing RAM, removing cards (NIC, TV card, Video
card), changing IDE cables,formating HD, reinstall XP. Problem was still there. After
I installed windows 98 on another hard driver, everything was fine. So, it may not
hardware problems.
I noticed the computer takes long time to load mup.sys, so I decided to have a look
about it. Didn't find anything from M$.
Thanks goodness, I found this message. Now my computer runs well. It passed 3DMark
03 without any problem and I can copy 10G files from one HD to another.
This is what I did after view the message:
1: disable mup.
2: change NIC to #5 slot (my motherboard has five PCI slot and some IRQs are shared).
Why #5? because #1, #5 and ACR shared same IRQ and I don't have ACR card and #1 slot
is empty.
