[QUOTE="kay_mac, post: 32791"] Thanks for your input. I totally agree this can matter, but even a basic USB mouse plugged in will stop the boot process. After booting up, I have only tried Apple's USB keyboard and sometimes an Apple PRO keyboard and an optical mouse, so there are no other power draining peripherals. Seems to work ok with a USB flash drive. I plugged a reading light in the USB ports to see if it would affect booting, which it does not. Come to think of it, I haven't tried connecting the USB ports to an external powered hub at startup. That would be the logical next step from your advice. I'll give that a try as well. Thanks. kay_mac [/QUOTE]
