-- xp not booting. (https://www.jusunlee.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=3483)

xp not booting.

sometimes xp doesnt boot for my athlon. instead of the winxp loading logo, there is a blank screen. seems that it has something to do with mup.sys, as the computer freezes when xp tries to load that file on safemode.

i searched google but there doesnt seem much useful information online. anyone experienced the same thing? any one know a solution?

format it.

yea.
i did that a couple of times now. even repartitioned the hd.

was ur xp legal?

no. but thats not it, i dont think.

-edit-
i mean im sure thats not it. my other computer runs the same xp installation fine.

for some reason i keep thinking your computer is missing a system file...but it shouldn't, since you said (xp installation) worked well on your other computer. umm, i can say is do a system restore and upgrade again.

what are the specs of ur comp? r u sure u have all the updated drivers for ur comp?

eh

Jusun, was your processor overclocked at all? XP doesn't like to boot sometimes if the processor isn't stable, but that's probrably not the case...what kinda errors is it showing? or is it just black screen.

no its not overclocked. and i tried the slowest settings for memory configuration in bios but it still didnt boot properly. but its okay now. i switched back to 2k on the computer that fails. everything is working fine now.
