Windows 7 won't boot with HP c7280 connected

After a new computer build, i installed Windows 7, loaded all drivers and devices with no problems. When the printer is connected via USB the computer hangs on Bios screen. If I unplug the printer then the computer boots right up. Is there a fix for this problem?

I think the solution to both problems is to either disable the option to Boot from a USB device, and turn off an option called USB Emulation, or something named similar to it. The option can be changed in the BIOS of your PC. Please refer to the documentation provided by your PC manufacturer, or call your manufacturer to get this done.

Won't boot with external display connected

My MacBook Pro (circa 1997) won't boot with the external display connected. I can connect the external display (20in flat planel) after it has started, and it works just fine.
I have tried two different DVI cables (one of which I think is a DVI-A cable) and the DVI-to-VGA cable. The result is the same.
During the boot phase I get the tone, the apple logo and the progress wheel. After 30 seconds to one minute those disappear to be replaced by an empty blue screen.

In case anyone wonders, my "solution" was to change to a WB Elements Desktop 3TB (only USB 2.0 is currently available for this model). I miss the speed of USB 3.0, but it's much nicer to not have to remember to unplug and plug in the hard drive each time I boot.
Still hoping to see a proper solution to this (since I don't have the WB My Book anymore, I can't test adaher's suggestion).

Windows won't boot with Virtualization Techonology enabled

My Windows won't boot if I enable Virtualization Technology. I've read the other forums and have tried to both disable and update the Bluetooh and Wifi drivers before enabling virtualization again but that's not working. I've also updated the Bios but that doesn't work either.
Laptop: HP Envy TouchScreen 15-j052nr
OS: Windows 8.1 (64bit)
Bios: F.63 (I've tried F.65 A)

Hi @thyPot ,

Mac Mini Won't Boot with VGA Monitor Connected

I have a new Mac Mini connected to an older VGA monitor using the Apple brand VGA adapter. The mini is fully up to date and runs perfectly when booted. However, if I reboot the mini with the VGA monitor connected, it fails to boot. I just hear the faint chime sound every other second. There is no output to the monitor and the only way I can get it to boot is to disconnect the monitor and then power cycle the mini. I can reconnect the monitor just seconds after powering back on and it finishes booting properly.
Anyone else experience this? It is very frustrating. I've also tested with an HDMI connected monitor (without the VGA adapter) and it boots just fine and the display works properly.
Thanks!

Okay, I'm back with good news: I have found two remedies for the problem which will hopefully solve it for you as well.
Given that the issue only occurs when certain monitors are connected, I concluded that the root of it must be a bug in the Mac's firmware related to DDC (Display Data Channel) handling, and that the most promising way to address it should be to just disable the DDC.
Workaround #1: If your monitor has BNC connectors, use a VGA to BNC cable.
In this configuration the DDC pins are not connected to the monitor at all. This did indeed fix the problem - my Mac mini booted without a problem with the monitor connected. However, I was not completely satisfied with this solution, because VGA to BNC cables are usually quite heavy and inflexible, and do no go together well with Apple's MDP to VGA adapter and the Mini Displayport/Thunderbolt port which has no locking mechanism.
Workaround #2: Remove pin 12 of the VGA plug.
Pin 12 of the VGA plug connects the serial data line of the DDC. Pulling out this pin with a pair of needle nose pliers will effectively disable DDC. I hesitated to do this to my cable (a direct MDP to VGA cable which eliminates the need for a separate adapter dangling from the Mac) and therefore bought a tiny VGA male to female adapter (also called port saver, e.g. Delock 65250) to perform the surgery on that. This has done the trick and my Mac mini has started up fine ever since.
Of course, without DDC the Mac won't know the model name and capabilities of the attached monitor and thus offer some resolution and frequency settings which the monitor may not support, but that's a small drawback compared to having to pull out the monitor cable everytime you turn on or restart your Mac.

MSI P43 won't boot with usb devices connected

My system:
MSI P43 Neo
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
NorthQ Black Magic 850 watt PSU
Corsair 4 x 2GB ram PC2-8500 1066MHz
Seagate 320 GB hd

Samsung 1.5 TB hd

Samsung DVD Write Master
When i try to boot i freezes at the detecting usb devices when i have a usb device connected. It does with any usb device. But when i boot up without any usb devices connected then i boot fine and i can connect the devices right after the detection of usb devices. How can that be?

Googled on "computer not booting with usb code 6b38" and found this:
Quote
****SLOW BOOT-UP in POST SCREEN****
P.S. If you see the BIOS code 6B38 in the bottom right corner of the screen, this is a indication that USB Legancy support is enabled in the BIOS. If this is enabled and you have any usb devices attached such as a external USB Hard drive, your system will take ages to go through the POST boot screens.
So disable this setting in the BIOS and the system will then boot in a matter of Seconds
From:
http://www.rebelshavenforum.com/sis-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=30;t=000250
Also try and see if a clear CMOS will help, some people suggested that from a old post from MSI forum here, saying its bios 1.3 thats bugged.
So if disabling doesnt work, perhaps down/upgrading BIOS might.

Windows won't boot with my 3200+ at 2.2 ghz

Relative noobie here so here goes,
I just bought two sticks of corsair 500mhz pc4000 ram (256mb each) for my pc. I managed to get the ram to boot at 400 mhz but windows will not boot unless I set the system bus speed to 166. At 200 the bios will boot and it does detect the processor as a 3200+ with ram running at 400 mhz but right before the windows boot screen (the black one with the low res windows logo) I get a beep and the system restarts. Here is the info on my specs

So, the only product that's actually new is the nForce2 400 which looks like a low-cost version of the Ultra 400 chipset. Unlike its feature-rich brother, the nForce2 400 offers only a single DDR controller and will not be able to support the MCP-T south bridge. However, it will still offer full support for the new 400MHz FSB, DDR400, up to 3GB of memory and AGP8X support. Not bad at all, especially IF NVIDIA sells it significantly cheaper than the Ultra 400 chipset.

Windows Won't Boot With USB Drives Attached

I just installed Windows 7 on my Mac mini but it won't boot into Windows automatically if there are USB drives attached. I have to hold down the option key at boot time and select the Windows partition manually for it to boot, unless I remove the USB drives first, then it will boot into Windows on its own. Does anyone know how to fix this annoying problem?

Sounds like your mini is set to boot order: boot from USB first.
On a PC you could go into BIOS and change boot order and enable/disable USB booting.
Not sure why or what is on the USB bus, type of drive and device that could also make a difference (and not be universal to the Mini)

BootCamp won't boot with USB-drive connected

Hi everyone,
since I installed my BootCamp partition I encounter a strange problem. I have an LG external DVD-drive connected via USB to my iMac. Everytime I try to boot Windows while the LG is connected the boot process just stops and gives me a white display. If I unplug the drive from the USB-Port everything works fine, and once windows is booted I can even reconnect the USB-drive and it works fine. But as you might understand always unplugging and plugging really gets to my nerves. I know of a couple friends who encounter the exact same problem, they also complain about this...
Also strange is the fact, that if I boot OSX the LG is connected and everything works fine...
Searched the forum and web, and wasn't able to find something usefull...
I hope there is somebody here who can help me...
Thanks in advance...

IMac Won't Boot With USB Keyboard Connected

We have a suite of 10 iMacs (10,1 - 21.5 inch), but one of them will not boot and has issues coming out of sleep while a USB keyboard is plugged in.
Have tried swapping the keyboard with another iMac - the other iMac still boots but the problem iMac continues to play up.
Tried plugging the mouse into the iMac's USB instead of the keyboard's.
Tried SMC reset, PRAM reset.
Re - imaged the machine from a time machine backup of one of the other iMacs, which made the issue go away for about a month... but then it returned.
Using a magic keyboard is fine as a workaround, but the users need the number pad, and if possible I'd rather fix the issue than buy a clunky separate keypad.
Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be very appreciated!

Hello strathglass
The same thing can also happen with other connected devices such as external HD's and iPods, the Startup Manager is lost and searching for a boot volume.
1. You may be able to fix it by going to: *System Preference / Startup Disk* and select the *Mac OS X 10.5.5 on Macintosh HD* then *Click the lock to prevent further changes.*
2. Leave those devices that cause boot issues disconnected until the iMac is up and running!
3. Only sleep the iMac, and be sure to disconnect those devices be for shutting down or updates that require a restart!
As a habit, I have always ejected and disconnected all mounted USB devices (flash driver, iPods, cameras, card reader, etc.) from my hub be for sleeping, restarting or shutting down...

Mac G4 won't boot with slave drive connected

I have two G4 boxes. 1-Dual 867 Leopard and 1 -Dual 1.25 Tiger.
I have been trying to clone the system drive of the Dual 867. Everytime I add the second drive to the 867 box and try to boot i get the "Flashing ?." I have tried various reformatted drives and the result is the same. I have even tried to accomplish this by using the 1.25 box. Same result.
if i unhook the 2nd drive (ie backup drive) both computers will boot as usual.
What is the problem?

Hi larbok, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I think it's the Jumper settings on the Hard drive.
Older G4s should be set to Master on the end cable & Slave for the Middle of the cable.
MDD usually use the Cable Select jumper settings on both drives.
Jumper settings are generally shown on the HDs themselves.

PC won't boot with X-fi XtremeMusic

# This is my first post, so please tell me if I'm not giving enough info or anything..
I bought a X-fi XtremeMusic and wanted to try out.. So I plugged it into a free PCI slot to find out it wasn't working: I couldn't boot. The only thing that would happen were the casefans spinning, but my screen remained black.
I then tried to boot without the soundcard in the PCI slot, but my screen was still black.. Then I removed the onboard battery from the mainboard and waited a minute or two and put it back in: I was now able to boot again. I tried this one more time and exactly the same happened.
Now I read something about X-fi soundcards and nForce4 chipsets not meshing very well, but I have a gigabyte MA-790XT-UD4P mainboard, so this doesn't apply to me I assume.
Other specs: AMD Phenom II 720
XFX Radeon HD 4870
CoolerMaster 620w power supply
My question is: what could be causing this problem? Or is it possible that my card is broken?
Thanks!

'Re: PC won't boot with X-fi XtremeMusic? Yeah I tried it in both PCI slots, but none worked. Still I wonder about one thing, which I forgot to mention: When I replace the onboard battery and boot I get an error (which I resolve by using the last known good option instead of putting everything to stock value as I'm overclocking in the bios) that the bios checksum is incorrect, so putting in the card changes some value in the bios.. But what value? And does this imply that maybe updating my bios might solve the problem?
Also might I ask what bios revision you are currently using (I'm using the F4 bios)
About the case thing you might also be right: I do have some difficulty putting in the card as it doesn't fit perfectly. I have a CoolerMaster CM690 case which has tool-free fittings, but I can't get the fitting which holds the card down without using substantial force. This also causes the card to be in the PCI slot at a slight angle, I thought this wouldn't matter as the pins still connect, but may this be a problem? I already tried starting up without the case fitting holding the card in place and instead using my fingertips to hold in postion, though to no avail.
Oh and exactly what bracket should I look at (the one you referred to in your post)?

ESXi6.0 Host, WIndows 7, only boots with 1GB RAM

Hi gang,
I converted a physical Win7 machine for use on my ESXi 6.0 sever and it created the machine just fine. I added a second disk to the server and moved the VM files to that disk, removed it from the inventory, and then added it back. The VM was originally configured to use 4GB RAM. However, when I power on the machine, the console window stays black and Windows never boots. With some trial and error, the only way I was able to get the VM to power on and boot was if I changed its settings to only use 1GB RAM. There is 8GB RAM total in the ESXi host and the other VMs aren't using much, so there is plenty freely available. However it simply won't boot with more than 1GB configured.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Well I deleted the VM and re-created it, and reloaded Windows and all my software, works fine now.
Thanks for all the help.

2nd HDD bay with HDD = notebook won't boot with HDD in 2nd HDD bay

I recently came into a Pavilion DV9308 Notebook. It was in decent shape, well looked new and since I like tinkering with laptops and the motherboard had the dreaded NVIDIA GPU failure going on, I sent the motherboard out to my motherboard dude and he put a newer NVIDIA video chip in, made some adjustments and modifications to the heatsink cooler etc. Along with my modifications including vent holes and sealing up the fan blowing assembly so when the fan turned on the hot air would leave the laptop it now runs Windows 7 64 bit with a 64GB Kingston OS SSHD and 4GB DDR2 800mhz ram. It runs like lightning and impresses people when they see it boot up in 15 seconds.
The problem is and the whole reason I picked this notebook to restore is because it has two acutal hard drive bays. Well ever since I've gotten the notebook It will not boot with a hard drive in both bays or a hard drive in Bay #2. I had to send the repaired motherboard back once because one of the ram slots wasn't working so this is happening on two different motherboards. I cannot find a reason why this is happening and have yet to find anyone that can help me with this. Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong? I have all the correct drivers I think and the laptop runs at 130"F when pushed to the max! That is amazing compared to what it originally ran. It would be awesome if someone could please help me with this. Thanks.

Hello jason9922. I understand your notebook won't boot with a hard drive in the second bay.
When you say that the notebook won't boot with a drive in the second bay what exactly do you mean? Does the CAPS LOCK key flash or do you get an error?
When you have the hard drive installed can you access the BIOS? If so, is the hard drive detected within the BIOS?
I'll keep an eye out for your response. Have a great day!

Biege G3 won't boot with OS 9.2

I purchased a biege G3 MT with OS 8.6 on eBay. Unfortunately, the OS is in French. I upgraded that to OS 9.2 and now it won't boot. No chime and it stops after the first icon during startup. It won't boot with extensions off nor with the CD. I tried resetting pram, etc. without any luck. Loaded it with 8.5 and it works. Took another HD with 10.2 from another biege G3 and it works. It just doesn't like 9.2, but I have 9.2 running in another biege G3. Are there G3 that won't work with 9.2? Please help.
biege g3 Mac OS 9.2.x

Hi elpro,
Here's a bunch of stock responses you'll hear on the G3 forum.
Is the 9.2 CD a universal installer (gold color), or a gray machine-specific CD, and if it is gray, is it the right one for your machine? Apple made gold CDs for general retail to work with all machines, and gray ones that were usually distributed with a machine with the components just for that machine. Unless you have a universal installer CD, the version of OS 9 you are trying to install may not have the right components for your system unless you happen to have one that matches your type of G3. If the 8.5 CD is the right one, and the OS X you say is from an identical machine then that may explain why they boot up but not your OS 9.
If you post your problem on the G3 forum you'll almost be sure to get this question. How old is the battery in this machine? G3s exhibit all kinds of weird and unexpected symptoms when the batteries are weak, and they go through them pretty quickly, especially if they have been unplugged for a long time. The battery helps preserve basic machine configuration information between bootups so if you're having problems with your monitor it might even be related to the battery. If in doubt, replace the battery.
The PRAM reset and extensions off are the other stock replies but you've tried those.

Macbook pro won't boot with two new 4GB RAM sticks.

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro. It came with two 2GB RAM sticks. After downloading Lion, my computer started to get sluggish so I thought I would upgrade the ram. I bought two 4GB Corsair RAM sticks and tried to install them. My computer will boot up if I install one of the new 4GB sticks and leave an old 2GB stick; but it won't boot with both of the new 4GB sticks. Any ideas?
