HELP

im not really sure how or y i got to this site but i did and ive been having some computer hardware issuses aka parts of the motherboard
but when i plug in my usb flash drive it shuts down my computer with a blue screen and ive ruled everything out exept 2 things one: a partly fried motherboard or i suck at cleaning out the usb area im more for the partly fried motherboard because i play games that take alot outta my computer and my computer was used before i got it( you dont wanna know what was on it before) but im about ready to throw it out the window



its a compaq evo d510 convertable minitower and other parts that dont work are the floppy drive (person shoved quarters in it and my network connection but luckily from my old computer i had a ethernet card so im having to use that

Are the USB ports motherboard mounted or case mounted? If they are case mounted are you sure that the connectors are linked to the correct ports on the motherboard? What does the BSOD say?

[jamer123]

its mounted on the motherboard and i dont know what that second thing is

BSOD = Blue Screen Of Death

[jamer123]

it goes by too fast to read only like half a second before my whole computer shuts down so no read time

Then unless any other members have any ideas then I would say that your USB drives are dead. I have known it to happen from time to time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help so happy solution hunting.

its not a drive its just like 1 gb of memory that i got and it does work on other computers i know that

Wait is it only with this USB device? Or do you receive intermittent problems with other devices?

[jamer123]

ive been having problems with other devises including my orginal network connection that can with the computer

I would definatly say that the USB ports have worn out then. You may have to buy a PCI USB adapter card.
