I've seen many questions about this error on many systems. My System is an old HP DL360 G5 server
Built in video went wonky all garbled on both VGA plugs
Installed a cheap video card to get around the failure and it is booting and looks fine except..
it hangs up at the CLASSPNP.SYS in safe mode and cant get past that point
Everything else on the system is good (HD memory cpu fans etc. all good)
reset the bios battery, tried reinstall windows, safe modes etc etc
I assumed at the point classpnp must be trying to talk to the wonky video device and hanging up there?
It's a good machine 3ghz multicore cpu and lots of miles left so of course I'd like to get it working again.
Ideas I have at this point include if there might be any replacement custom SYS driver file or other file
I could substitute for the funky one that hangs up the system or some way to tell win7pro to skip that file entirely?
Wasnt there a way to step through the driver file loads and confirm each one or was that an older version of windows and cant be done any more
Thank you greatly in advance to anyone who takes time to read and contribute ideas to this!
