About the only thing I can think of is the mouse was shorting the USB port, and since it works OK that wasn't the problem. If you try it again and its OK, I would consider it just a fluke and not worry. However, if it does it again we are back to square one. Can't imagine a USB device, unless its shorted as noted, causing a no boot.
Possibly, although it is actually new mouse even though it is wired. I've tried wireless mice, but it is unreliable in that some mouse movement was missed. Not sure of the reason. I use good quality Logitech mice. Batteries were fresh

Thanks. An issue with the mouse being partially unplugged occurred to me too.
I'll try it again, right after I complete my second set of backups!

Could one of the mouse buttons have been stuck in the "pressed" position?
Is it time to retire the rodent, or at least hit it with some canned air?

I've booted successfully several times. Either it was a glitch (ie no explanation) or it has something to do with the mouse.

Guess you'll just have to keep an eye on it...
