I think this is the right place to put this.
So I have a friends computer here. It boots up seemingly ok, but after the windows splash screen in goes blank, but a black screen, but the screen is still on. You hear the fans spin up to full speed for a bit, and everything then sounds like its running fine....just no picture
So i did some googling and I found another person with the same issue and it was caused by a faulty video card. So I put in a crappy video card i had laying around. Still get the same issue.
Next I tried booting to the last know good configuration. Same issue.
So i tired booting in same mode. I hangs on Windows\System32\Drivers\Mup.sys
If it helps the video card that was in there i think is a GeForce MX4000.
I do know its a Windows xp home system
Only other thing I know is its a custom built machine. It was running fine until a few days ago. My friend says he thinks the machine has over heated 3 or 4 times in the past.
Hope someone can help.
thanks
