Hello - Just chipping in. I ran into the same mup.sys problem today.
Even though I run dual 1.26 GHz PIII-S chips, power is not an issue since I only
have a single HDD + single DVD ROM and my case has a 450 W power supply.
I had been playing around with the BIOS settings. After several attempts to boot
in safe mode, I reset the BIOS to use fail safe defaults. The computer then booted,
and I googled for mup.sys, and found this annoyances.org link on Google, and am typing
this now.
