I am reasonably compitent with computers, but this is stumping me.

My PC is custom built with AMD Athlon XP2400+ and set up with a dual boot configuration which has been running fine for over a year without a glitch, until now.

Now it won't boot either configuration, even in safe mode nor debugging mode. Everytime it I boot in safe mode it resets itself after the loading of Mup.sys and hangs in debug mode. I have tried to reinstall XP but mid way through loading the initial files it resets itself.

I have monitored the hardware in the BIOS for 5 mins and there is no spike or heat problems with the motherboard or processor, could this be a hardware problem or is there a way for me to solve this.

Sounds like hardware if you havnt changed or done something new?

Could be faulty memory or an overheating system. Can you give us the system temperature?
