jaymax Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Is there any reason why a non-system disk would cause a machine to NOT boot up? Freezes at the splash screen stage. Remove the disk and it boots fine.Thanks!"Storage disk Freezes Boot" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 What is the BIOS setting for boot up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 At boot-up the computer draws a lot of power. It could be that the power supply unit isn't sufficiently powerful to supply this initial demand - this could be a sign of imminent failure if it has worked in the past.

Coreper Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 more likely is that the computer tries to boot or search for something bootable on the external diski recommend you turn the disk off during the booting and switch it back on after bootingthis even happens sometimes when you insert an empty cd, or a usb stick, just something you should remember when hooking up external storage :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
