pc hanging at post -usb ports not working

i have an old packard bell pc, which keeps hanging on start up, just at the packard bell screen..when i unplug the usb devices and power on and off, its fine...only one of the 4 usb ports are working, i run a small usb hub off that port.

if i plug the hub into one of the non working ports, the power light on the hub is on, but none of the devices show.

im running windows xp.

any ideas?...cheers

Hi 2good,

Welcome to PC Mechanic !!

That's typically when the USB controller is initialized. Do a chkdsk with the /f switch to fix errors. Then do a System Restore point. Then download and install the latest USB drivers for your system. Hopefully that'll do the trick...

Nothing different off the top of my head... If you list the exact model and system specs, you may get some other suggests.
