No I did not have any other device attached to the laptop nor am I having any problems with grub before the splash screen. But I did figure it out how this is happening in my case. Basically, whenever I boot up the laptop, and login to my account, and then shut down or restart, in this case it works fine. But whenever I boot up and shut down or restart without logging into my account, in this case, the next time I boot up it freezes on the splash screen. So then I have to boot up and shut down from the USB drive, and this seems to somehow fix the problem, and then it boots up OK from the internal HDD.
