Can you do a stepped boot not in safe mode and get hung up at the same place? Mup.sys is blamed a lot just because it is the last thing loaded, it is not really causing the problem in most cases. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwareg

Here are some more to try. :) Here are some troubleshooting suggestions: • ESCD corruption, Try resetting ESCD and/or changing ACPI setting in the BIOS. If there is no specific way to reset the ESCD data via the BIOS you can force this by reflashing. For added value check to see if there i

Superb idea! But, for some odd reason my current 0502 bios does NOT have the "Reset ESCD {whatever}" switch. NOW, it is back to the BOOK! I do know that there is a NEW bios (0603), but, my read of the Asus site indicates ZERO about this. WOW! This one is again odd, and fun to work at. Close to

Steine, Thank you. That share is part of the print I have made and not yet read thru. Sometimes the Collective Mind is on the same track! The bios ESCD business I can shortly fix, but I think I've already done this. We'll see. I will do this routine immediately! I do understand this from long,
