Hi,

I am using my Blinkstink on a Shuttle barebone (SH67H3, Intel H67 Chipset).  
When the BlinkStick is plugged in, the computer will freeze immediately after the BIOS logo displays. It won’t go any further, even in hours.

Removing the stick does not help. I have to power off the computer, start it, and wait for it to be booted up to be able to use it.

Do you guys have any clue what I should do about this?

Thanks !

@lrouxel welcome to the forums. Did you try different USB ports? Do you know if the BIOS is up to date?

Is this uefi?

I had similar issues with other devices on my Asus x79 board, it was fixed via options in the uefi/bios. Legacy and full/partial enable might need to be enabled or adjusted. I forget which but all it took was one option switched and everything booted as normal, pretty sure my setup is partial enable and legacy support switched on.
