[SOLVED] BIOS wont boot when USB headphones are connected

[crimson121]

This started happening only after i updated my BIOS
I use a MSI Z370A-PRO motherboard
So when i try to boot my PC with the headphones plugged on the monitor it shows a black screen and in the bottom left corner it says 'Entering setup...' I tried to wait a little but nothing happened so i googled and it said that maybe there are too many USB ports in use so i disconnected my headphones and it worked. I also have a wireless mouse so these are all the USB ports that are connected: keyboard, wire to charge the mouse (the mouse is a corsair wireless harpoon), dongle for the wireless mode for mouse, and the headphones. Its weird because the dongle is connected but even when the mouse is not turned on it still doesn't boot.
I read on some forums that you should set the BIOS to its default settings but when i do that it says 'nothing changed' so i already have default settings. Also someone said to turn off the usb ports or something like that and turn them on one by one but when i enter the bios i cant find anything like that, only thing related things it shows is USB configurations:

Also if i boot my PC without headphones and go to BIOS and then plug them in the cursor and the bios lags really hard.
And when turning on my PC the EZ Debug LED VGA light turns on (when starting without headphones but after bios thing shows up it turns off, but when with headphones on it keeps on glowing) tried to find stuff on the manual and forms but couldn't really find anything.
Please help its really annoying to plug and unplug the headphones every time i boot. 🙁

Try changing the boot sequence. When you reset it to default it will always try to boot from USB (thinking you want to install an OS).

Hope that solves it

get a powered usb hub. i have all kinds of usb stuff connected to my notebook and it boots fine to bios too. get a powered hub, like the Plugable Brand

plug headphones into powered hub. that should solve any issues you have

yeah. that really isn't a good sign, looks like they have a bug in the new bios. why did you update it anyway if everything was working correctly? it is NEVER needed to be done unless there are security updates or you are trying to add support for new hardware.

same with your drivers. don't update until you NEED to. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

flash it back to old bios and leave it alone is the alternative.

i updated it cause i had a problem with my ram. I also asked that question here and someone said to try to update the BIOS. But after i did that it didnt work so i RMA it and got my money back cause it was defective or something. Also how do i flash it back to the old version?

you would need an old version image of that BIOS. I am sure they have a utility that can flash it for you.

right now, just contact the support of your computer and see what they say to do.

all the bios images are here
