last week my xp1800 went down due to the mup.sys error, I was running win2k at the
time, my IT friends considered it a partition failure and we rebuilt the machine
using XP.
Yesterday it fell over again with mup.sys hanging, I tried a new MB,new videocard,
different ram, updated bios, plugged,unplugged everything... still mup.sys hang reboot.
I put the orginal MB back in with everything as it was and then increased the Core
voltage from 1.74 to 1.85 and it is running stable.
There was nothing above that matched what I did, but I can only offer how I fixed
my problem, I have 4 usb ports sucking power so I figure thats what was dropping
the core voltage, causing the mup.sys to become unstable.
