Computer crashes and restarts while starting Windows

It seems some driver files have been corrupted on my system.

I was working normally and it just crashed without warning. I am
currently working from an alternate setup but I would like to revert
to crashed setup.

It will not boot safe mode as well, it appears to hang after mup.sys.
I have sptd.sys on my system as well but it doesn't seem to be the
problem. When I skip it it still crashes.

My last ntbtlog.txt goes back 31/10/2009 17:15. I have tried rebooting
a few times but it is not getting updated.

These are the settings from boot.ini

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer /noguiboot /
bootlog

I even copied back the registries from the previous System Volume
Information but it is still crashing.

The last ntbtlog.txt displayed kmixer.sys several times at the end,
but replacing it hasn't stopped the problem

Is there a way to track which files are causing the crash, and restore
them from clean versions?

I tried to do a repair from the recovery console but can't remember
the Administrator password.
