Computer won't boot with 2 hubs attached! Why not?

Pages: (1/3) > >>

I have two 7 port D-Link Hubs attached to my motherboard each with its own usb port. I have 2 Ultrastik 360s, ICE-T trackball, Turbo Twist 2, 2 LCD Top Guns, 2 LED-Wizs, and a KeyWiz-ST attached accross both hubs. I can unplug the hubs and computer boots fine. I can unplug 1 hub and computer hesitates 10 or so seconds during POST then boots. I have tried different setups in the BIOS and no change. I know its definately not a driver issue since its during the POST phase. I have power adapters plugged in for both hubs and the power lights are on. The Motherboard is a ECS 945GCT-M with Core 2 Duo CPU, 1gig ram, 320gig HD, ArcadeVGA 2 PCI-E. The hubs are D-Link DUB-H7. Please help before I pull my hair out.

I've had an issue with a USB hard drive preventing my computer from booting, hanging at post for 20 mins and restarting on its own.
You said when both hubs are removed everything is fine, When one is removed its a little slow... was it always the same hub that you removed? or have you switched between the single hub you removed. If its the same result no matter which hub you remove, my suggestion would be to unplug everything from the hubs, and plug in each device on its own to the computer and seeing if its one of the devices (I'd start with the hubs and then move on to anything that you may have modified)
Hope this helps

Try connecting to only one usb port on your MB via its uplink port.  Connect the other hub to the first hub using the uplink port on it.

if your BIOS has it, i'd try disabling "Try other boot devices" and network boot. Allthough I think im misunderstanding the problem, It sounds wierd for a hub to cause a pc to not reboot

Any chance you're pulling too much power for your power supply?
