I started having the freeze at mup.sys problem after intalling an audigy LS and then
an HP CD burner. I had several successful reboots after the upgrades. Of course
the lockup started the first time I rebooted with the case back on. I removed the
card and the burner, no luck. The interesting thing is that I could boot into Linux
with no problem, but XP would hang every time. ***I swithing the DDR stick to another
slot, and voila, it boots again...very odd, but minimally invasive...glad I did not
have to do a repair from the CD***. The solution does not make sense to me, but
hey it's a Microsodt product (useful yes, dependable no). So thanks everyone for
the non-sensical workaround tha really works. If anyone knows why windows would
fail but not linux, I'd be interested to know.
