USB issues

[z1ggy]

I think my motherboard may be the culprit here but I am not sure..Everytime I connect a usb device (iPod, flash drive, etc) my computer will go to this blue screen with all this mumbo jumbo on it and then restart. I am pretty sure the internal connections are all correct.

Does it happen when you use any of the usb ports? What about the ones in the case?

Please make note of the "mumbo jumbo."

@ akhillies- Def. the front ports it always does it..and a few times it has done it on my back usb ports..and sometimes it doesn;t

@ mag- The screen is up for about 2 secs so there isn't much time to see what it says, but it looks similar to the POST screen on a bootup

If it happens to certain ports, it could be a wiring/grounding issue. I've heard someone with a Sonata III case that short-circuited when front USB was used. Double check your wiring.

if running XP go system properties>advanced>startup & recovery>system failure>uncheck "automatically restart"

this should keep the BSOD up which may then give a clue as to the problem.

Hi z1ggy


My first question would be what has changed?
Did you add any new hardware or software before it started ?
It may me a hardware conflict USB ports addressing the same
block of memory as another hardware device or even a software
driver.
Did you update a driver recently?

Are you using Vista SP1? If so google "Vista SP1, USB, Trouble". There are certain systems whose USB got messed by SP1.
