Windows Vista: NEW Vista start up problem

hi,

Over the course of several weeks I've been having hangs when Vist
starts up. On the BIOs screen, during

the loading of the OS and on the desk top. It will hang in excess of
minutes at all three of these locations.

The problem moves around. Also I've had problems installing a har
drive. All of these are USB related. The

hard drive would not install with two USBs in the PC. The hangs ar
associated with a document text in the

PNY 4GB attache Ready Boost USB I have permanently installed in m
system. The document has been

deleted. I have removed the second USB. The system is booting agai
correctly but I believe this is short

term and will return. Anyone have anything on this? Looks like a drive
problem in the OS to me. Might be a

hub problem or something related.

That surely indicates a hardware problem because Windows isn't even
loaded nor has it started to load yet. Your other problems stem from
this one.

Check for BIOS updates that address this or similar issues. If you hanging
in the POST I'm not sure I understand how you are reaching the conlusion
that a Windows driver can be the cause. It is possible that there are
issues with the mobo. If this is a laptop and you are using an unpowered
hub then you may not have sufficient power to the usb ports to make that
work when several devices are attached.

You need to give the computer make, model, and some specs.
