Motherboard died so replaced with new - froze on boot.
According to safe mode it crashed in/after mup.sys
Windows XP obviously had to load new drivers for the new motherboard and I thought
that was the problem.
But it was a disabled BIOS ACPI on the new motherboard that caused it!
I read through all these excellent messages.
Re-enabled ACPI.
Windows XP settled down to the new motherboard.
Noted one thing though...
MUP.sys was not only the last entry to run before it used to crash, but it was also
the last entry listed in Safe Mode when I got it working - i.e. there were no more
entries to come before the desktop came up.
Would be more logical for MS Safe Mode to list each process before it attempted it
instead of listing it after success, and not to leave any step unlisted.
mup.sys indeed gets a bad reputation here.
