Hardware Monitor Found a Problem!

[SuPerB SainT]

my psc 1210 all-in-one will not scan. It will print email and
 
hardcopies but it Does not scan!
 
I uninstalled the psc 1210 all-in-one and reinstalled it.  when i did
 
that it works perfectly.  It will print, make copies and even scan!
 
The problem arises when i re-boot the computer. Upon rebooting i
 
get the black screen that says, "Hardware monitor found an error.
 
Enter Power setup menu for details."
 
I click the F2 option to continue and my computer boots up.
 
after the reboot there is an exclamtion mark on the hp psc icon in
 
the tray and it says, "Error hp psc disconnected!"
 
I am trying to find out why .....when i uninstall, then re-install the
 
psc 1200 all-in-one ....why that it will function in every category,
 
UNTIL it is rebooted.
 
upon reboot i always get the screen "Hardware monitor found an
 
error. Enter Power setup menu for details".
 
and if i do enter Power setup menu for details there is nothing
 
pertinent to solving the problem that i see.
 
Please help!

I assume this is a usb connected device. If so you could try altering
the BIOS settings. The power options should have legacy usb support set
to ON (or whatever the wording is for your bios). This will ensure that
the device has usb power from the instant of switch on, allowing the
device to initialise before windows looks for it. Another option is a
powered usb hub. Possibly as well you have too many gadgets drawing usb
power and the psc 1210 loses connection when they all try to initialise
at once.

Hello, just wanted to let you know that this advice worked for me. I found an empty external drive and a cel phone adapter both connected and not being used (not to mention some dust bunnies).
Very helpful post.
