Windows 7 32 won't boot with USB devices plugged in
My Windows 7 HTPC (see my profile, it's an Ion with an Atom 330) has been running fine for about a week now and tonight I went in to watch a movie and it was stuck at the "Starting Windows" screen, without the logo showing. After toying with it a bit and trying to boot in to repair mode (which also wouldn't boot), I unplugged my keyboard and MCE IR receiver and it booted. I tried plugging them in one at a time and it won't boot with either in.
I don't know if an automatic update was installed or anything, but I haven't changed anything since it was working fine last night. I did toy with the BIOS a bit (can't remember when exactly) but I took another look and haven't found anything that seems like it could cause this. Anyone else had an issue?
I also have a second question -- it keeps turning off, or hibernating or something. I turned off "Deep sleep" in the BIOS and have it set to never hibernate in Windows. Whatever it's doing, the remote won't wake it. What do I need to do so I won't have to get up and push the power button?
