About experience only. Sometimes I experience a system hang during boot for unknown 
reasons. I have a Microsoft USB mouse but connected via a converter to a PS/2 port. This 
behaviour is rare to very rare. I am not sure of its cause though (in fact I haven't noted 
down after which service it hangs, so as to track it down, because it is rare.
