Hi.

I have formatted my laptop due to some 'issues'.

Since then I have updated Windows XP to SP2 and all the updates.

Everytime I plug in a USB device, it will work for a few minutes then the pc
will completely freeze up.

the only response i can get is if press and hold the power button to turn it
of.

Before I formatted my pc, this never happened and the usb drives workd fine.

any advice on this?
