I am prety sure that in my case the problem was generated by Nero 6.3...
The main difference between this Nero version and the prev versions is the introduction
of a Nero ImageDrive driver that supports *.iso files in addition to the *.nrg allready
supported.
I am sure that in my case that driver was the prolem, because it appeared every single
time I enabled Nero ImageDrive and uppon selecting Last Known Good Config the System
Restore Service disabled Nero ImageDrive...
I uninstalled Nero 6.3 and the problem never came back!!!
Beware of other virtual drive software too...
I've heard complaints regarding UltraISO and Daemon Tools too...
About your PSU now...
I AM SURE that this problem HAS NOTHING TO DO with bad PSUs, but here goes...
It is true that a bad PSU is a very serious problem, but the simptoms of a bad PSU
are totally different. Problems generally consist of system overheating, system hangs
and blue screens during power tasks.
SO to be more speciffic:
1. System overheating...
2. Blue screens or hanging durring videogames... (Videocard does not get the quality
power it needs...)
3. Blue screens or system hangs durring cd burnning... (CD-RWs need lot of power
durring writing...)
4. Bad performance, hangs or blue screens durring heavy multitasking...
PS: If you have that bad a PSU I guess your system should't start at all...
A mobo can also have some influence on the power your components get, because it
incorporates voltage and amperage controllers...
To check if your PSU is really bad try entering the BIOS setup and watching the voltages
under the System Health menu (or somthing similar) or use a program that can do that
from your WinXp environment... If the voltages drop consistently when system activity
becomes more complicated then you may have to change your PSU (Antec or Thermaltake
produce very good PSUs), but I repeat... THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO with the Mup.sys
issue...
Hope I've been of some help

SAMmy
