Thanks Freestone - I agree that the best option is probably to start over. What still concerns me though is that I first encountered the problem with a clean install on the suspect machine i.e. before the drive had been near the via chipset. Still next time it might work !!! - otherwise I'll...

Mainegeek - no, I don't have a USB2 card Hi Johng75 - thanks for the advice. If I can't fix it I will do a complete new install but I did in fact start from this position first time I set up! Freestone - To clarify - I had that error message on the suspect machine when first attempting a clean...

Hi Maingeek - OK I disabled USB & LAN but same problem :-( Anyone know how I can find out which driver was trying to load after the (apparently) successful mup.sys? - I'm still suspicious of this but I'm no expert (obviously).

Confirm APIC is enabled. Stop code is ***STOP: 0x0000007B(0xF894D640,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000) nb: I still wonder if there is a driver issue since when starting in safe mode it blue screens after the apparent loading of mup.sys (windows\system32\drivers\mup.sys) but I have no idea what...

Hi Freestone. The other chipset is a Via but I didn't recognise this difference as a possible problem - especially since W98 works OK. Sorry for my ignorance but what is APIC? Ski - that's pretty well what I did when I first tried to install (though I used Partition Magic DOS boot disks to...

Yes it used to work until it blue screened whilst in service - following which it never worked again on the original machine even though I replaced each hardware component in turn, including the MoBo. Error message is - "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut...

Hi franklin Sort of - I had tried installing from both my CD & DVD drives with the same result but now I have an installation which works fine on my spare machine there should be no need for file access from the CD with the HD back in my main computer.

Tried two HD's - same problem. However it did install OK(& subsequently run OK) when I transfered the drive to my spare machine so the CD & drive seem OK. Following this I put the drive with the now "fully working" dual boot installation back in my main machine but once again only W98 will run &...

Hi Ski Yes I intalled W98 first. However I got the same problem when I tried to install XP on its own onto a newly formatted primary partition!! - seems like its hardware but I've changed just about everything (also tried a different PSU which I didn't mention in my post).

Hi All - any advice welcome on a problem that's had me beat for weeks - Every time I try to install XP it crashes to blue screen on first re-boot. Win 98 installs & runs OK. I have managed to sucessfully install XP (in a dual boot configuration) only by temporarily moving my hard drive onto a...
