Computer freezes when I plug anything to usb.

If the unit is pluged in before passing on external device is not recognized. If I switch on and open a session on peripheral card in the system freezes. under XP pro.

How old is the computer? It's probably a problem with your USB ports on the motherboard. You can work around this problem by installing a PCI USB card (assuming that it is a desktop computer and not a laptop), but if the computer is old enough (over 5 years) it's probably time to consider replacing it.

    Hey Toni-LeeFurlotte,

    ·         Have you tried to connect to a different USB port?

    Method 1: Try to connect the USB key to a different port on the netbook and check the issue. You can also connect the drive to another computer and see if the problem persists.

    Method 2: Update of the netbook with the latest chipset drivers. In addition, install other updates of the device driver. Log in the Web site of the manufacturer to do the same thing.

    Method 3: This problem can also occur if there is a drive letter conflict. A drive letter conflict occurs if the disk that is affected by the error is mapped to a reserved drive letter. I suggest you try to change the drive letter.

  • My computer freezes when I start reading CrossFire!

    Dear Sir/Madam
    Can you please recommend an anti freeze program or tell me what to do to stop my game freeze?
    Yours sincerely

    Hi ZakB

    The game may freeze because you might be running out of disk space hard od or RAM installed on your computer is not enough to play the game. Try to increase the RAM of your computer.

    You can use the new feature in Windows Vista "ReadyBoost" to improve the performance of your computer, which therefore will allow you to play the game without freezing.

    For online games, you can try to install the latest version of the flash player
    http://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/

    ==========================================================================================================================

    Windows ReadyBoost can use storage space on some devices of removable media, such as USB flash drives, speed up your computer. When you insert a device with this capability, the AutoPlay dialog box will offer you the option to speed up your system using Windows ReadyBoost. If you select this option, you can then choose how much memory to use for this purpose. However, there are some situations where you will not be able to use all of the memory on your storage device to speed up your computer.

    Some bus universal series (USB) storage devices contain both slow and fast flash memory, and Windows can only use fast flash memory to speed up your computer. So if your device contains slow and fast memory, remember that you can only use the fast memory portion for this purpose.

    The amount of memory to use for ReadyBoost acceleration recommended is one to three times the amount of RAM (RAM) installed on your computer. For example, if your computer has 512 megabytes (MB) of RAM and you plug in a 4 gigabyte (GB) USB flash drive, setting aside from 512 MB to 1.5 GB of that drive will offer the best performance gain.

  • PC does not recognize the ipod when I plug in the USB cord.

    I have an ipod touch, and it will replace my old ipod.  When I plug the USB cord, nothing is recognized by the computer.  It is also not recognize my old ipod when I plug it now.  I have other devices that use a USB cord, and they work as they should.

    Apple told me to check with Security Essentials to see if they are blocking a pilot... I am quite at a loss.  It's the ipod or it is safety, or is it the computer?

    I tried everything on separate computers, and they don't always work.

    Any help is appreciated!

    It is not MSE-you get a warning if it were.  Try another cable or try on another PC.  It sounds like the cable might be the problem if all of a sudden or iPod works.

  • Laptop freezes when I plug in HDMI to monitor

    When I plug a HDMI cable to my laptop, the screen freezes and forms a black box around the screen. The only thing I can see is my screen background image. Cannot do anything, the system is totally frozen. When I disconnect it everything works fine again. What should I do? I use a HP ENVY DV7-7250us with WIN7 (64 bit) installed thanks! B

    It sounds as if there is a problem with the TV\Monitor. I see that you have not specified which other inputs has the device. This would help. Call you a monitor. The rest of us use LCD screens. It is only 20 inches by your description. I wouldn't use it if it would not accept a video signal with a resolution higher than 1024 x 768.

    Creating identical threads is frowned upon here. I'll ask a moderator to remove one on the same subject.

He makes no attempt to connect to computers at all.

  • WiFi connectivity weird when I plug in the USB Flash drive?

    I found this WiFi connection problem a few days ago, when I plugged a USB Flash drive in "USB port right side' of my MacBook Pro.

    Every time when USB , WiFi won't work - the connection is lost and can not connect to any hotspot even turn the WiFi market.

    I found more weird, ONLY this brand and model key USB could be the abnormal Mac WiFi.

    This problem will not happen to another USB port even I put the Flash drive in the left side, USB port, weird isn't?

    Conclusion, this flash drive cannot be used with USB port on the RIGHT side, another USB port works fine. If WiFi don't work.

    All other USB devices I've owned are working very well on the USB ports on the right or left side.

    Could Apple support or any helps me to understand why this happen?

    PS. I had the Apple's Diagnostics and received a message "no problem found".

    PS #2. Right - same USB port side and next to the HDMI port on MacBook Pro 13 "model 2015" (snack for someone who confuse average left or right)

  • The computer crashes when I plug in the ethernet cord

    I'm having a problem with my laptop. It will start and run fine without the ethernet cord.

    When you plug it in, the network card to become 'in service', the software support and drivers and the loading error occurs. This probably indicates a problem with the network card drivers. Download a new game from the manufacturer of the laptop and install to see if refreshing their help.

  • computer freeze when you try to watch a video stream (only) from any Web site

    When I try to watch streaming video, my computer freezes, the screen goes black. It will start to play the video to say about... maybe 30 seconds. The computer screen will sweep for a fraction of a second and that's it. It crashes, the screen goes black, it makes that sound you get when the computer crashes. So I have to do a hard reboot to take control of the computer again. I've only had this computer for about 120 days, did not buy good warranty for the software and now I'm stuck.
    I got a warning of "problem-solution" and he mentioned a question with the ATI card. I have ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 on an Inspiron7010. I tried to reload the OS. did not work.
