Hello, I am having an ongoing problem where having an A-Data C803 4gb USB flash drive inserted in a USB port will sometimes cause my system to freeze during POST until the device is removed, at which point the POST will continue normally.
This is a problem because I've made the flash drive into a bootable device using Win 98 system files and I am using it for the purpose of flashing my video card BIOS for overclocking. Simply booting up without the flash drive connected defeats the purpose of what I am trying to accomplish.
The freezing does not happen all the time; the problem is intermittent. It doesn't matter if it is plugged into a USB port on the front of my case or on the motherboard IO panel.
Here are my system specs:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 Kuma @ 3.33 GHz
Motherboard: GA-MA770-UD3 BIOS revison F5
Reference Clock: 267 MHz
HT Link: 1869 MHz
NB Frequency: 2136 MHz
Memory: 2x2GB G.Skill F2-8500CL5 @ 1068 MHz
I can supply voltages and whatnot if that is required.
Has anyone heard of a problem like this before? Could my overclock has something to do with it? Or could it simply just be a bad USB drive?
