1. fresh install of windows xp with sp1 and 2.
2 short brown out
3 the previous evening it was downloading some iso files and was generally sluggish.
4 awoke to find frozen screen.
attempts to fix (each was unsucessfull)
1.rebooted and failed on first frame of loading windows screen
2. tried to boot into safe mode and discovered that it hung at mup.sys
3. googled mup.sys and read up on the problems people were having.
4. cursed microsoft and burned and effigy of bill gates.
5. disabled mup.sys and reenabled when disabling did nothing.
6. reflashed bios which was allready up to date
7. moved my memory to the other slots and moved it back when it did not work.
8. added a scsi card in hopes of updating ecsd but no luck. (i have no periferals
and my pci slots were empty. ) i also tried upluggin my usb mouse and disabled onboard
everything (sound usb firewire etc...)
9. bumped my vcore up a little then back down when it did nothing
10. underclockd my fsb and multiplier.
11. tried to boot from winxp cd which also failed.
12. booted winxp disk by hitting f5 when it asked to hit f6 for some drivers and
selected first option (not the option that said other)
