Check to see if they have a PS2 Mouse or Keyboard around to plug into computer instead.<\/p>\n<p>2) Boot Computer to see if Windows launches. If Windows boots and the CU has a PS2 device, go to step 3; else send PS2 Mouse and\/or Keyboard care package. We will then need to follow up with the CU once they have the PS2 devices. <\/p>\n<p>3) Once user has PS2 Mouse and Keyboard, have them boot up the computer with only the PS2 device(s) plugged-in and have them right click on My Computer,  go to Properties -> Advanced tab -> Start-up and Recovery.<\/p>\n<p>4) Click the check box to disable &#8220;Automatically Restart&#8221; under System Failure.<\/p>\n<p>5) Then have the CU close out the windows and plug in USB device.<\/p>\n<p>6) If a blue screen like stop 0X00000007E or 0X00000007F appears, remove USB device, restart computer with only PS2 device plugged in and have them launch Device Manager after the system reboots.<\/p>\n<p>7) Go to the &#8220;Universal Serial Bus controllers&#8221; under Device Manager and Uninstall all USB controllers. <\/p>\n<p>8) Once done, restart computer.<\/p>\n<p>9) Let the OS install all USB controllers, restart when finished if needed, then attempt to plug in USB device with power like a ilok or mouse to test fix.<\/p>\n<p>10) If CU has Sweetwater PS2 device care package, request it to be returned to Sweetwater with the enclosed return label.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[35973,36442],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the Creation Stations stuck in a boot loop. page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/creation-stations-stuck-boot-loop\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Creation Stations stuck in a boot loop. - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This is being caused by corrupted USB drivers in the OS.
