Lexmark 3400 Series Printer Affecting Boot of Windows XP?

I only just got a Lexmark X3470 all-in-one printer copier scanner. It works great, and connects to my computer via USB cable. The hours of daylight after using it for the first time, I turned my computer (Dell Dimension 2400) on, and the monitor showed the Dell logo and white progress bar, and after gave me a blank black eyeshade with flashing cursor within the top left corner.

Multiple reboots subsequent, I finally got the operating system to boot. Long story short: whenever the USB from the printer scanner copier is plugged into the computer, and I try to start it, indistinguishable issue happens. Whenever the USB is unplugged, the computer boots usually. This morning, the printer USB was plugged within, and I tried to start, and I got the black eyeshade. With the computer STILL ON, I unplugged the USB, and it immediately started to boot up. I've never see anything like this, and I don't know whether it is the printer or my computer! Help!

Answer:
It sounds resembling it's the motherboard. You can try updating the drivers from your motherboard manufacturers' website.

If this doesn't help, your solely choice is to get another motherboard or use a different operating system.

Hope this help,
Ken
