The issue seems to occur regardless of whether you're using the external drive or not. The V300 Kingston 120GB SSD might be causing the problem when you power on the system.

Consider the boot sequence, placing the USB after the SSD or depending on your OS setup. Work in Harrow Kodak.

SSD appears first in the boot sequence. I’ll leave my external device unplugged unless necessary.

I also have the same SSD in my laptop. I haven’t seen this before. Would it boot up using the SSD if you disconnect the external drive?

No additional copies of Windows or its files are present on the external drive.

I've encountered unusual situations before, attempt to remove all partitions and reinstall Windows on the SSD. It seems there might be an issue with the Windows Boot Manager.
