Shuttle hanging at startup

_Jimlad_ · 12 Jan 2010 at 17:12

First off hello everyone!

Grrrr this is bugging me and becoming more frequent, when i turn on the computer it will often hang on the bios startup, not even posting, turn it off and 8/10 times it will work, failing that another reboot and we are away. It does it when i exit the bios too. I have my spec in the sig, and have disabled all overclocks, upgraded to the latest bios and tried all i can think off. Any ideas or advise would be welcome. As you can see i get a half post but mouse and keyboard are not operational and the system will stay in that state until i reboot

Spec
SN78SH7 Shuttle - Windows 7 Pro AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 965 Black Edition - Zotac 9800GT ECO Edition - SSD 80GB Intel X25-M - WDSE16 500GB - Corsair XMS2 4GB PC2-8500C5 DDR2 TwinX Dual Channel

i think i have found the issue..... internal card reader! - connected via the USB header, i have unplugged this and now for 5 days i have not had the issue, mem test passed about 8 times when i left it running for 16 hours

this question is... do i get another internal card reader or just accept that this shuttle may have trouble posting with a card reader always on!

dunno if its the card reader or the shuttle, will keep testing for a week or so, don't really wanna get another one to have the same issue
