    USA still the best. But barely.
    Try changing the boot order in the BIOS.

    If you want help, you need to give more information.
    1. So, can you get some kind of error message?
    2. Whether this is USB or DVD what must be connected or it is any one or it is some special, such as a Windows installation disk ...
    3. What is the BIOS boot order?
    4. Whether you have installed only Windows (which version) or something else is also installed. If this is something else, for example Linux, which one is the main one, either Windows or Linux etc., all the information that is possible to share.
    It's easy to find a reason for You, because You know what it is installed, what happens etc, but we do not know or see absolutely anything. How to help, if have no info?
