Stopping USB Memory Stick Restart PC

[mysgies]

Hi All,

I am facing a wired problem on my PC running Windows 2000 SP4.

When I stop the USB memory stick by double clicking on the system tray area and selecting to stop the device from the new dialog, my PC recycle.

I am able to use this USB from other machines with no problem, Can some one hints out whats is going wrong over here.

What happens if you just pull the stick?

Its shows error dialog that device is unpluged, I just don't want to loose any thing just pluging it out.

Anything in Event Viewer? Do you see a blue screen? Try turning off restart after failure to read the blue screen: http://www.tweakxp.com/article36976.aspx

My guess is a bad driver is causing a blue screen, but it could be something else.
Have you tried other USB sticks?

Their is no blue screen, my PC restart without giving any notice. But worth giving a try by removing the USB Driver in use when the device is connected.
