eeeek,

Somebody please help! I bought what I thought was a rather nice
desktop computer recently only to find that often when I connect usb
devices (memory stick or iPod) the system crashes and then restarts.
This is driving me crazy and I'm slightly lost as to what to do

Any help would be very helpful (and may save my life!)

Thanks
 
running XP? remove all USB devices from the ports-goto device manager and
under USB controllers remove all reference to COMPOSITE USB devices. reboot
plug one in at a time and load the drivers.
If this continues after this I would suspect the PSU.
 
I suppose this is Windows.

Go to BIOS and enable PnP OS, ACPI and APIC, then do a repair
installation of the OS.

Once the OS is reinstalled, make sure that the (proper) motherboard
drivers are installed.

If the error persists, go to Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced
Startup and recovery > System falioure > uncheck »Automatically restart«. Then plug in an USB device and take all the time in the world to writedown the details on screen, then turn off your computer by holding the Power button.
Click to expand...

Let us know what the error is.
