I've had exactly the same problem as most other posters to this thread:
I installed a new ALI chipset USB 2.0 PCI card, and when I rebooted, the system kept
rebooting after loading Windows XP for about 20 seconds. I went into safe mode, it
appeared to stop at mup.sys, but the hard drive was still going, and it eventually
loaded up Safe Mode Windows.
I removed the offending PCI card but no luck. The only way to fix the problem for
me (I tried adjusting all the various motherboard settings that have been suggested,
and I have a 550W very high quality (£70) power supply, top of the range) was to
use Automated System Recovery. I put in the floppy disk that this had created for
me the last time I backed up the system using it, and it automatically found and
installed my saved version of XP, and everything worked fine. I'm now deliberating
whether to risk putting the bloody PCI card back in to see if it works okay, but
I think I'll just learn to live without it!
