hi,
i've just rebuilt my computer with xp service pack 2 and all works fine. except when i attach either my maxtor external hard drive or my ipod, when it seems to crash the computer unless i wait quite a while (10 mins or so). sometimes i have to reboot and endure the same problem again.
is this common? and obviously is there a solution?
many thanks

There is a small section on how your usb port should be set up maybe this will help

Check you PSU can handle the power requirements for an extra device..
