Re: Boot Up problem: USB conflicts

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Rob,

I have seen similar behaviour on one of compueters, but everything is possible with bad device firmware or BIOS.
Try using different USB stick and different USB device. Also try updating BIOS if available.

USB Hub is also "USB device" but it make certain amount of delay since BIOS must enumerate USB HUB first and after that you device
connected to it. So device has a chance to fully initialize before it is enumerated by BIOS.

Regards,
Slobodan
