Hi there. My 5 cents worth. Had a computer that had been fried with a power surge
and the only part to save was hard drive and CD-ROM. New power supply, mother board,
RAM, CPU, Modem. Pretty much bare bones system with on-board video and USB ports.
When I put the hard drive in I had the mup.sys hang. This message threads been a
life saver.
Tried everything here, running bare bones system, power supply was new, changed ram
slots, ide drive cables, ide slots, all bios settings, etc. What worked for me.
There was one message here from jerry sat feburary 14 and he disabled the APIC mode
in bios which allowed him to boot all the way to windows. My APIC was already disabled
so I didn't try this and went through the hundred other things to try posted here.
Eventually for some unknown reason I enabled it and set MPS version control for OS
1.4. Rebooted and it hung at mup.sys again. I did see a couple of flashes of hard
drive activity on HD light. Gave up and reset it all. That flashing hard drive light
bugged me so went back and enabled APIC again and when it hung and saw some hard
drive activity I walked away and forced myself not to push reset before time. After
about 5 minutes it actually booted into windows safe mode where I could do a restore
and everything was fine.
Went back and disabled APIC in bios and that caused it to hang again. Reenabled and
everything running fine. So again we have another message that is a contradiction
of a previous message and are no closer to finding the one stop solution to this
problem.
