PC BIOS freezes when USB webcam is plugged in
Multi tool use
I have an HP Compaq 6000 running Ubuntu 14.04, and when I plug in my Logitech HD Pro C920 Web Cam and try to boot, the computer gets stuck on the BIOS.
In fact, if I go into BIOS settings, then plug in the webcam, the BIOS freezes immediately.
I have changed the boot order, disabling USB completely from the boot sequence. I don't have an option for legacy USB support. It doesn't matter whether the cam is plugged into the front or back ports. There doesn't appear to be a BIOS update on HP's website.
The Exact model is HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF PC Pentium Dual Core E6300 2.80GHz:

Does the cam cause the same issue on on other Windows PC's?
