Guest buggs73 Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I've been troubleshooting a problem of Windows stalling out on a cold boot. It will get to the splash screen and seem to initiate the kernel and NT Loader ok, check the boot devices ok, then stall out. Occasionally, it will try to proceed, the perform a memory dump. On a warm boot, it works fine. I've repositioned all PCI cards to different slots, but no difference. All drivers indicate working properly.

Guest buggs73 Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Re: "Windows stalls on cold boot" I think I may have narrowed it down to the mup.sys file because it will stop at this file in Safe Mode. Everything works fine on a warm boot. I'm looking at information on this file since I've had trouble with getting my home network to set up properly. Power supply and hardware seem to be functioning beautifully. I'm trying to find references on fixing this particular file. -- "Buggs" Branham There''s no such thing as a stupid person, "Malke" wrote: > buggs73 wrote: > > I've been troubleshooting a problem of Windows stalling out on a cold boot. > > It will get to the splash screen and seem to initiate the kernel and NT > > Loader ok, check the boot devices ok, then stall out.

It is the driver that loads *after* mups.sys that is causing the issue. What changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't? If you can't figure that out, try a System Restore to when things worked. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers http://www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User
Guest buggs73 Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Re: "Windows stalls on cold boot" The mup.sys has been ruled out. According to the boot log, the ACPI driver failed to load. This kept everything else from being loaded. I've included several ines at the point of the problem as the log is lengthly and has duplicate entries.

Guest buggs73 Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 RE: "Windows stalls on cold boot" I believe I found the culprit to this problem. After breaking down the system, cleaning it out, and powering it back up, I noticed that the power supply fan was not running. This caused it to overheat and XP detected the rise in temperature and errored out. This kept the drivers from loading. After getting the fan to run, it booted up fine. Fortunately, the fan is easily replaceable.

Guest buggs73 Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Re: "Windows stalls on cold boot" If I really could explain that, I'd still be working as a support analyst. Initially, the fan problem seems to be intermittent and it will function during a warm boot. But on initial power up, the power supply fan hangs ( or won't start), thus causing overheating and the operating system fails to load or errors out. -- "Buggs" Branham There''s no such thing as a stupid person, "Unknown" wrote: > How do you explain a cold boot fails and a warm boot works OK as stated in > your original post? > "buggs73" <buggs73@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:D7294F30-BB37-4982-8A78-0786BF1384ED@microsoft.com... > >I believe I found the culprit to this problem.
