My computer sometimes automatically restart when my Windows is loading(at a
screen that a loading bar at the bottom is shown). After that, this problem
occurs almost every time unless I have turned off my computer for a period
of time(sometimes it does not work).
I tried to go to safe mode by pressing F8. Normally several paths of files
are shown on the screen. I find that it stops at a file path
"....\Windows\system32\Drivers\Mup.sys" and then my computer restart
automatically after approximately one minute.
Although I can login to Windows by normal procedure, my computer sometimes
lags for some periods of time(or even restart automatically), and then a
message was shown that "Windows delayed write failed".
Are the above problems identified? How can I solve them?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
 
hi,

Not necessarily, I think the most useful think in this case is restoring
original file from CD - and you can start from this point. If it will not
solve problem check for drivers to your motherboard's devices. Besides look
up an details about STOP error in event viewer (Control Panel ->
Administrative tools) - should be an error number.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should
help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly.
Keep pressing the F8 key during StartUp and select option
- Disable automatic restart on system failure.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until
you have resolved the problem. Check for variants of the
Stop Error message.

The event viewer shows "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D
during a paging operation."

What does it mean?
 
I have ever tried it before but just for one time. I forgot to write down
the code displayed on the blue screen. I will do that if the problem occurs
again. Thanks for your idea.

There will also be Error Reports in Event Viewer. Please look in the
System log and post a copy.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event
Viewer. Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error
Report. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

I would try HD Tune (freeware).
Download and run it and see what it turns up.
http://www.hdtune.com/

Select the Info tabs and place the cursor on the drive under Drive
letter and then double click the two page icon ( copy to
Clipboard ) and copy into a further message.

Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon ( copy to
Clipboard ) and copy into a further message.

Also do a full surface scan with HD Tune.

What is the make and model of the hard drive?

That's the one. You may also see Event ID: 9.

It suggests a failing hard disk, although it may be a controller
or cabling. Bad sectors is only one sign of a failing hard disk.
I would put any important data, address files now
on a CD in case it fails before the problem is sorted.

What type of Windows XP CD do you have? What is the
make and model of your computer?
