Windows 7 won't boot after installing USB 3 hub.
Last response: in Windows 7
Hi, I recently installed a new USB 3 Hub, however, Windows 7 refuses to boot when it is plugged in (via 4-pin molex from the PSU). When the unit is unplugged it boots just fine, but when it is plugged in it just hangs at the start-up screen indefinitely. I have no clue what the problem could be, anyone care to help?

Thanks for the reply. The thing is, if I plug it in after Windows has already booted up, it will work just fine.
So, it works with my mobo just fine, it seems windows is having some type of compatibility issue with it. Also, I just tried using a fresh install of Windows 7, still does the same thing.![:/]( ":/")

Hi
Again mine is EXACTLY the same as yours...try to boot with it connected and i hangs just after the bios screen...forever...
If I boot WITHOUT it connected, it will boot fine, then plug it in and it all works fine... all 4 usb 3 ports...
And its NOT windows as with mine it only gets to just after the first bios screen and it hangs, so its nowhere near seeing windows...
And no options in the bios make any difference to the problem...tried them all
What make of motherboard is yours ?? an Asus like mine by any chance ?
All the best Brett
Best solution

Install the empty hub into the usb socket, there will no trouble booting up . then install your ubs devices to the hub. next time it will boot fine. if you disconnect the hub make sure you follow this procedure before plugging the multi hub in. Bingo
