Hi. I finally decided to install Linux on my old PC (not booted in years). But when I plugged in my live USB and booted up, my PC is stuck here.
I tried booting up without a USB. Now a windows xp screen is asking me to start normally or boot with safe mode (3 safe mode options to be exact). Normal start does not work (the PC automatically reboots without warning). I choose safe mode with command prompt and bunch text shows up and ends with .../mup.sys
Any idea what should I do here? I have no use for my windows so I don't mind removing it. Also time resets every time I boot up the PC.
The issue was with partition system. I switched to MBR (using ventoy). Now I was able to get into antix's(386-core) bootloader from there (I dont know if my terminology is right).
I booted into antix but system crashed after kernel loaded. This was the first time. Second time it got stuck in loading hardware specific modules screen
Thanks for helping out.
Tale a look at your PSU and mainboard for failed capacitors (someone posted and example image what you do not want to see). Check your CPU Fan (working?), then honing the bios an check if it lists CPu temperatures and such and if they look good. then try to run memtest to check your RAM.
That should tell you hopefully what part might be causing the crashes.
