Well now when it restarts on the boot screen it talks about loading "Watch Dog" and sometimes will not load past this screen.

Re: Watch Dog
Ok so I have 3 USB holes
With the build in modem broken one USB hole leads to a USB wirless modem thing so I can connect to internet
the other goes to a 1 terabyte harddrive
the final goes to a USB tree I got at dollar store which branches out into 4 connections. 2 are used, one for wireless keyboard and the other for wireless mouse
Well Tee found out it starts up if everything is unplugged then you have to plug it back in..
what a pain in the bottom

Re: Watch Dog
Watchdog is a virus disguised as antivirus software. If it'll still let you run your antivirus software, try that.

Re: Watch Dog
I scanned the computer and terabyte drive with AVG, it found some stuff and removed the
Seems to be on the external, when it' unplugged it starts fine
If it's plugged in it won't start until it's unplugged then the USB holes don't work...

Re: Watch Dog
AVG's alright but does miss things. I'd suggest you try the free scan from ESET (https://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/) just to be sure.

If it doesn't work my simple solution is to keep external harddrive unplugged when restarting.

Re: Watch Dog
The simplest solution is often the best solution.
It is possible that on startup your computer is searching through the entire terabyte for any boot up info. Don't let it do that.
