Hey,
I've been trying to start my computer after a normal shutdown, but I'm having a few problems. When turned on the computer will reach the screen for Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, Last Known Good Configuration and Start Windows Normally. If either Last Known Good Configuration and Start Windows Normally chosen the computer with restart at the same point on black loading screen with the Windows logo. If Safe Mode is chosen it will always reach the file called Mup.sys before locking up. Have tried resetting the BIOS but it hasn't fixed the problem.
I think it may be a CPU problem because it attempts to start up as soon as power reaches the Motherboard.
Thank you for any help,
Oscar.
 
My neighbor had a problem just like that about 2 weeks ago (I think it found a virus after it was fixed) what you can do is a repair of windows (is it xp).
If it is xp you can use the windows disk to do a repair or what I did was put his hard drive in my computer and I got a pop up when windows loaded I said scan and fix bad files and what not and it worked.
If vista I'll look up how you can go about it with that.

Agree - i would just do a repair and then do a virus scan when you get XP working, straight away.
 
Tryed to boot with the Windows XP disc in but have run into a few more problems.
Whenever the computer is started up it beeps four times, then the message will appear "The CPU was previously shut down due to a thermal event (overheating)
Press ENTER to continue"
 
then turn off pc, use compressed air to blow the fan/heatsink, let it sit for 10 min or so, turn it back on and attempt to recover OS
