Thanks a lot Christopher M. Penalver, especially for the really prompt response
I upgraded the BIOS like you said. And I think it has worked! After upgrade, I booted up system as normal, plugged in the 4-port USB hub and plugged in the Seagate expansion drive into the hub. I then started backintime for a backup and started doing my work. It has been nearly 20 minutes since then. Backup has completed without a problem. The system is still alive and kicking. Thanks once again.
