Yes, I checked for updates about three months ago. This was never
encountered until recently when I added several photos to an SD card and
inadvertantly left the card in the reader, and booted the next morning. The
card's been since removed and all is normal again. Strangely, there are
several other USB devices (HDD's, two self-powered hubs, one with Bluetooth
mouse and KB, etc., always connected) and never problematic.

Understood.

> What is the boot sequence set at in your BIOS?

CD ROM > C drive only. CD first as a personal preference and it only adds a
few milliseconds to be detected as empty.

Thanks for your interest,
