The computer is booting up the usb drives before the main drive causing the computer to freeze up when a memory card or external hard drive is attached

When you boot the computer a message will come on the screen indicating what key to press in order to get into 'setup'.
Once you are in setup, you want to go through it until you find entries dealing with 'boot order'. What you want to do is set it so that it does not try to boot usb devices before it tries to boot from your hard drive. That'll do it.

- Disable legacy USB, yes.
What you want to find is boot order. Personally I usually set it to boot from cd first, then hard drive.
The problem you are having is that the system is trying to boot from your removable drive before it tries to boot from your hard drive. You want to change the order of boot devices the system looks for so it finds your hard drive before it looks for your removable drive.

Hi apicard91

Just disable that option and then you good...

hi,
if you don't want that feature, you can go into the bios , most likely the boot up sequence, and not have usb devices boot.

thank you

- go to your boot up section of the bios, and look at that the sequence is for booting up your computer, one will probably say something like usb drive or usb boot, you will want to either disable it or put it as the last one to boot up.
