Hi all, recently bought the HP C6380. Ive got it connected via USB to the computer.

I installed the drivers perfectly fine, didnt connect the USB cable till told to etc.

Its installed on the media PC in the front room, but the thing is when the printer is on and i reboot the machine it just hangs on the startup screen (the bit were your motherboard manufacturer shows up). It just seems to hang there and not boot what so ever, unless if the printer is turned off.

Id like to leave it on since my other computer can print off it as well as laptops via wireless, just seems a bit annoying. It supports USB2 (i think) and the make of the motherboard on the computer is an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe.

Ive tried reinstalling drivers and changing USB ports but to no avail. Kind of getting annoying now lol. Just seems to hang and not boot, have no idear what it could be. Even when i try to boot into the BIOS it still hangs.

Is this a common thing with USB or is it the ports on the board itself that are at fault?

Thanks ;)
 
Hi Hawk, no ive not got the latest BIOS for the board. ive never updated it ever! lol.

Could this be the issue, what was the device on your computer connected to the USB that caused your PC to hang?

Ive never flashed a BIOS you know since ive heard its risky. How easy or hard is it to do?


Thanks ;)
 
Cool Thanks. Would it be possible to put the BIOS on a flash drive then update via that?

Thanks
