    Sorry, but I have no schematics of these box but before thinking of a cpu error I would check the box with a serial cable and a terminal program as Putty or the windows Hyperterminal to see what is happening.
    Because the failure may also happen due the bootloader/software.

    Another usb stick you tried? And with RCA cable. Or another hdmi cable. Unfortunately, I hear many users with damage vu+ receivers.

    And start without hdd if you have. Remove any devices, of you have, then start again.

    Yeah indeed.., Mainly (I think) because of the many different image files and bootloaders etc.
    But trying to flash the box with several different usb sticks is a good advice if you have trouble with reading from a usb stick.

    Anyways, this error message,
    USB: Locating Class FF Vendor 148F Product 5372: Driver not found.
    May say something about the boot loader and in some cases seems to be related to the boot z.
    As given advice from the vuplus-comunity.....
    But it seems not always be the solution and it could also mean that it can't understanding the usb stick, in that case is could work with another usb stick from another brand.

    But searching further into the log I read this...

    NAND device: 1024MiB, SLC, page size: 2048, OOB size: 64
    brcmnand brcmnand.0: 1024MiB total, 128KiB blocks, 2KiB pages, 16B O
    amming ECC
    Bad block table found at page 524224, version 0x01
    Bad block table found at page 524160, version 0x01
    nand_read_bbt: bad block at 0x00000fde0000

    Which could indicate that the nand flash chip has some bad blocks, or the readings to it has some issues which could be related to the software.
    In any case, as advice given by bibic, disconnect at least the hard disk, and try to flash the software with another usb stick.
    It could be that the box reads a usb stick, but give some issues with reading from it.
    Another stick may give a better result.
    If it still won't helping than I would consider to replace the flash nand chip for a new one.
