Guest DaveJ Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Have just installed new motherboard, CPU, Memory and SATA hard drive into PC. Installed XP on partitioned hard drive OK. On system reboot, hangs at the Windows Blue srolling bar logo. Try in safe mode and gets as far as loading MUP.SYS. No cards installed, No USB devices attached. Anyone help??
Guest CreateWindow Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Re: New XP Install Hangs on Boot Hi Dave, Can you set the BIOS to disable the on-board network interface (LAN), then re-boot. What happens now? I think your RAM may be faulty - and has messed up the registry files. Set your BIOS to "failsafe defaults" and re-install the OS. Might help.

Dave: 1. (Nearly) needless to say, you're certain that all your connections/configuration especially as related to the installation of your SATA HDD are correct & secure, right? You've checked this carefully, right? 2. And, as best as you can determine, your BIOS settings are proper for your current configuration, right? Again, you've checked this carefully with your motherboard's user guide/manual, right? 3. I assume there were no hardware problems in your previous system that might have some impact on your present problem, right? You were using a SATA HDD as your boot drive in your previous system as well? 4. When you fresh installed the XP OS onto your new SATA HDD, the install went without incident - no error messages or any untoward events during the install process - at least until that initial reboot following the install of the OS, right? 5. When you say you performed that install on that new SATA HDD you said it was on a "partitioned hard drive". You actually carried out the partitioning/formatting process during the XP install, didn't you? Or had the drive been previously partitioned/formatted before you installed the XP OS onto it? If so, how? 6. And this is a single-partitioned HDD? 7. When you say there are "no cards involved", what are you referring to? A video/graphics card? Your new system has onboard graphics capability? What? Assuming no hardware/configuration problems, think there's any chance that something simply went awry during the XP install process? Have you tried reinstalling the OS, i.e., just making a fresh start? I'm assuming that after you've installed the MB, processor, RAM, (and assuming you have onboard video capability - and disconnecting all storage devices including any HDD(s) - you do get a screen display when you power up with no strange error messages, right?
