Dear lazyweb..

So our Media PC running Windows XP is a little fruity. It will cold boot, after the power has been unplugged, but if it's a restart, the thing "hangs" at the XP logo screen, only it doesn't, the bar keeps going ultra slowly. If left for a day, it still doesn't boot.

Also, during the go-slow boot, there are red and green lines in the progress bar. New mobo (Asus M3A), processor, ram, but an old PCI-E 6600GT video card.

If it gets to MUP, I assume you've checked the Event Log and things.

Running with the case off may not assist. Try Motherboard Monitor and the NVIDIA Performance tools (both ugly programs but they work).
