   You might check to see if there is BIOS upgrade.   
   I assume you can set BIOS "USB Drive" as a bootable volume choice.   
      
   If not; there is your problem :)

   I assume you are not willing to remove HDD in order to prevent that.

   While booting the USB stick did you hold down spacebar and try   
   different options?

   Sounds reasonable.   
   My laptop has odd issue with suddenly dropping ethernet (wired)   
   connection. It often dosent appear to be on at all. Tried it across   
   different OS's too.
