    USB hub issue on boot with win 7 64


    Odd but when I get the windows 7 icon screen and it transistions to the login screen I will always get a blue screen even though the window theme plays over my speakers. As well the 8 port usb hub may or may not activate. Odd part 2 when booting from win icon screen to login screen, once the usb hub lights up if I move the wireless mouse and left click this can bring the login screen to life about 30% of the time. If it goes to blue screen I will have to hard shut down and reboot again. If I am successful to boot to login screen about 40% of the time the powered usb 2.0 (8) port hub will be flashing on and off. This didn't happen with same hardware and XP pro 32. Any thoughts ?

    Does your computer boot up properly if you disconnect your usb hub?

    Ok, removed the usb cable to the hub and restarted. Booted to the win 7 icon screen and then blue screened with theme playing in background. Hard shut down and plugged usb hub back in and it took 2 try's to get past icon......again had to play the mouse wiggle mode at the exact time the usb hub lights up ! Wierd stuff maynard !

    Originally the thought was bad memory on a BFG 9500 card. Ordered and replaced with the amazing GT260 card. Great card but it made squat of a difference on start up. System runs like a mad dog after the boot games, no issues other than the usb port flashing for minutes to hours later, sometimes to finally load and stop flashing.

    Welcome linnemeyerhere

    What Boot order do you have your Bios setup configured to? Do you have a floppy drive installed ? If not make sure it is disabled in the Bios boot order. What is the make & model of the USB hub ? Does it have an external power supply ?
    Do you have any yellow triangle errors in Device Manager ?

    I'm wondering if maybe it's an audio problem, since you get the wierd activity right when the logo audio kicks in?

    I will double check the boot order, but yes I do have a floppy for the rainy day blue moon thing. I think it is in the boot order? 8 port usb 2.0 hub by cables unlimited I believe and yes it has a wall wart! No yellow triangles in d. mgr.! Cheer's

    Interesting thought on the audio! I'm not having any issue with audio to my knowledge. I'll check on boot drive sequence and also dbl. check on audio driver update....can't hurt!

    Ok back again, on boot the floppy wasn't in the order at all. Checked again and the audio card is a Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, dbl. checked for driver update and it's current. Oh and this time on boot I moved the mouse at the point the light comes on the usb hub and viola 1st time! If only it could be everytime!
