After installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 and rebooting the computer some people get this error: A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer) some of the technical code accompanying the error are: OX0000007E (0XC00007D, 0XF7C6B8EA, 0XF7C6B7F4 – 0XF7CBBYF0. by booting in safe mode you notice that the boot process stops at MUP.SYS driver loading.
The first thing to try is to boot from the Windows XP installation CD and get to the recovery console, then do a chkdsk /r check. if it finds errors at the end of the scan. reboot the computer and hope for the best.
If the above does not work, then you need to login to your windows using a live CD like BARTPE http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ and try to copy over the MUP.SYS file to the C:\windows\system32\drivers folder. copy the MUP.SYS from a good working system using a USB drive. copy over the MUP.SYS file and restart the computer.
If the above solution does not work, restart the computer and boot up onto the Windows XP installation CD.
