USB 2.0 Hub seems to prevent startup in XP
Hi folks,
I've been using a USB 1.1 Hub for several years. It's always been a bottleneck for my USB 2.0 External Drives so I bought a USB 2.0 hub. It has its own power supply. It works fine if you plug into my computer whilst it is up and running... a few seconds later my external drives show up nicely and the through-put is much faster as expected. However, when I reboot my machine with the USB 2.0 hub connected... the computer (running XP Pro SP 2) hangs in the startup - can't even escape to my bios. If I unplug the hub and then reboot, it works????? Anybody heard of this happening any ideas???? I could go back to my USB 1.1 hub..... but I spent a solid $15 on my USB 2.0 hub Thanks in advance. |

I have the same problem all the time. Usually when the temperature is cold. When it is crashing, the light in my mouse will not turn on. So, I am thinking the stuffs plugged to my computer overload all the USB ports. So, I unplug the mouse and plug it to the PS/2 port instead of the USB port. I also notice that every 2 USB ports are actually plugged to 1 plug on the motherboard. So, I seperate the stuffs and plug them in different USB ports. The computer still sometimes will not start but it is not as often as it was before. |

I'm on 98SE and my Lexar flash drive needs to be unplugged from the hub when
booting or else the machine hangs while checking the USB 2 PCI card that the hub is connected to. |
