Ive got an MSI FM2-A75IA-E53 with an AMD A10-5800K cpu and 2x G.Skill PC2133 memory @ 4GB. Boot drive is a Samsung 840 series 250GB (not 256) and a seagate 500GB HDD for storage running Windows 10.1 Home 64-Bit.
For about a year or so, I?ve had to unplug my USB devices to allow it to boot, not a big deal since it?s hardwired to the router for internet and my keyboard + mouse are the only USB devices. Sequence goes like this with USB plugged in.
Press power, MSI logo and slogan show up, we get to the windows logo and no loading icon comes up. It?ll stay like this indefinitely. I know this because windows will install updates whenever it feels like and I?ve left the machine on while out of town all week. I come back to that image. If this happens, I have to unplug the usb devices and remove power from the computer for 30 seconds before attempting to restart the system. If I don?t, my motherboard does not send a video signal to either the built in video or the PCI-E Radeon R9 270 video card. Once the loading icon shows up and spins around, I can hook up my usb devices. I?ve tried to see how quickly I can get the usb cable plugged in before it screws up, so far, as soon as it pops up as booting, it?s fine.
It sounds to me like a Windows 10 software issue and not a hardware problem. Which is odd because I run Windows 10 on my work machine and can start up with USB items plugged in. This computer used to have 8.1 which it was upgraded to 10, maybe there?s some legacy driver or piece of code that needs to be removed to fix this? But why would this affect the video output portion of the motherboard or get confused on what?s my main display and have a priority issue?
