USB device prevents system start-up

    Hi guys,

    I have a problem which I hope can be remedied with a little guidance.

    When my PC restarts or boots up, the booting progress will not go pass the computer's splash screen (in my case WinFast) and it just hangs there until I hit the reset button.

    This happens when any of my USB devices are plugged in and powered, so this is inclusive of my printer, webcam, modem and card reader.

    To get pass this, I need to unplug each USB cable in order for it to start up properly (get past the splash screen and load the os).

    What must I do to stop this rather tiresome quirk?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can go into your Bios settings and down voltage your USB usually from 1.2 to 1.0 volt it will slow your USB down but it should cure your problem..
