| 1138919 | 2010-09-22 04:24:00 | the question is how to stop the cycling through boot &/or boot normally | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 1138920 | 2010-09-22 04:25:00 | Speedy, I don't think it's a mup problem as it happens with 2 different hard drives. |

| 1138921 | 2010-09-22 04:27:00 | Did you install SP1, 2 or 3 before putting it on the net? If its on the net? Does it still hang on mup.sys when you choose safe mode? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1138922 | 2010-09-22 04:28:00 | SP3 before internet and like I said, it has worked fine for a week after the new hdd & clean install | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 1138923 | 2010-09-22 04:30:00 | Try another PSU, thats about the only thing you havent tried | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1138924 | 2010-09-22 04:31:00 | OK | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 1138925 | 2010-09-22 04:35:00 | Is this an AMD or Intel system? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
