New CPU installed message after connecting a USB drive
I’ve got a Legion S7, Ryzen 5000, running Windows 11. Been using it for about 2+ years now. This error message pops up instantly when connecting an USB flash drive to it.

- Update the BIOS firmware to fix the issue.
- Do you have Bitlocker or encryption enabled? If not, just hit Y.
- BIOS/UEFI Glitch: Sometimes, the BIOS or UEFI firmware can display incorrect messages when hardware is connected or disconnected.
USB Drive Failure: The USB drive might be failing or malfunctioning, causing the motherboard to misinterpret signals.
There could be an issue with the motherboard itself that is triggered by the USB connection.- This answer helps me a lot! Thanks!
- My guess is that Windows updated the BIOS/firmware. The association to your connecting an old USB drive would be coincidental.
