PC getting stuck at the Intel boot screen
These POST codes stads for:
BA
- Detecting presence of a removable media (IDE, CD-ROM detection, etc.)
BC
- Enabling/configuring a removable media
If you don't need boot from USB devices. I would try to enable "USB Optimization" at UEFI configuration.
- At that Intel start screen after power on press
F2
- Then in UEFI configuration go to
Boot
tab - Enable
USB Optimization
- Press
F10
and accept withY
Which usb devices are connected to your computer?

Maven almost 2 years
there is this strange problem I am facing for quite a while now at the time of starting up my pc.
WHERE it occurs:
The problem occurs at the very first screen that appears after pressing power button where there are two ‘Intel’ logos with few two digit alphabets which keep on changing at the right bottom of the screen like:BA
BC
EB
usually this screen last for 2, 3 seconds.WHEN it occurs:
BUT at the times when the problem occurs my PC remain stuck at this screen at theBA
point (see image attached), with no CPU activity happening it just remain stagnant there.Other Important Observations/Information:
- This problem ALWAYS occurs when I Restart my PC or even when I Shutdown and start it again without switching off main power (UPS + Main switch)
I have also noticed when I have a bootable USB attached to PC at the time of booting up it gets stuck at the
BC
point instead ofBA
To correct it I have power it off, switch off electric supply behind including UPS, Main power, wait for 3,4 seconds and power it on again, than it all works fine.
I have changed my power supply for the PC as thinking that this issues is somehow related to power problem but didn’t helped, I have also reinstalled windows after this problem but this problem is still there.
PC configuration: 64 bit system | Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 | 4 GB Ram |

Kindly help me out with how to get rid of this problem as it gets really problematic in many ways including while installing windows or when you have to restart your pc etc.
Thankyou!

Dave over 11 yearsI wonder if the UPS is connected via USB!
-
week over 11 yearsI think UPS wouln't be detected as removable device. I would bet on keyboard or mouse.
-
Maven over 11 years@Dave Rook: No UPS isnot connected through USB. Its just directly going into the power supply.

week over 11 yearsDid you solve the problem?
-
Maven over 11 yearsno as i said, the problem still persists even after trying above solutions.

week over 11 yearsHave you tried booting with your USBs unplugged, to see if it's caused by usb? Update UEFI from manufacturers site.
