Restarting server never comes back

Situation: The client has a server running Windows 2008 R2 server. Whenever they restart the server, it shutdown but never comes back. They need to turn it off manually and then turn it on. In other words, warm reboot doesn’t. It works only cool reboot.

Troubleshooting: We find there is a dead USB drive connecting to the server. Removing it from the server fixes the problem.
