At this point, I think I'd do a fresh install, and/or new hard drive.

Well I tried getting Win 7 on a bootable disc. I followed a bunch of instructions that I found on youtube.com but for some reason I couldn't burn it onto a disc. Kept getting an error even if I followed each step perfect.

Anyway, I looked at clearing my CMOS but the battery is soldered on. I just messed with it a little bit to see if its lose or anything thing but I didn't want to rip it out and solder another on cause I've never done that before. So I put everything back together, turned on my laptop and it finally booted up to the Windows Install screen. FINALLY!! Thanks for everyones help and patience.

Aford10, thanks for helping me out for as long as you did. I learned a lot about troubleshooting and burining ISO's through all this. Have a good Christmas man!

Merry Christmas!

Its still hanging up at the load screen in normal mode and it still stops at mup.sys in safe mode....

could it be my power supply?

Hi,
I have the same problem but don't think its either the power supply or the memory because it stays on all the time I want to leave it on the windows splash screen. The only thing is that mine shuts off after few minutes when I use a bootable CD. Plus even if i use safe mode with cmd prompt, it doesn't give me the command prompt... I don't have a windows 7 disk but i am using a windows xp sp2. Please let me know at kj_23@hotmail.com, if you have found any solution.
Thanks,
Kieth

Please start a new thread of your own, Kieth - this one is too old to product a fix for your problem which is quite different from the original. Yours may be a hardware problem.
