*I know exactly how mad and frustrated you are now. Be calm and try not to throw your PC out of the window.
This problem took me two days to figure out. My Windows XP got stuck during the startup. Booting in safe mode clearly showed that the computer stopped responding after loading Mup.sys.
I tried almost everything including numerous re-installs and even wiped out my RAID array, but still got no good news. Many helpful forums and sites suggested different problem sources: enabling APIC, NT File System, updating BIOS, etc. After countless hours of trial and error, I finally found the problem source: the USB 2.0 card. Taking the card out resolved my problem.
If you encountered a similar problem, try to take out your PCI cards one-by-one. You might be able to boot-up again. Good luck!
