nullbyte Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hello... For some while now, when I plugin an USB stick into my computer, after ~5 mins it crashes, and if I copy to or from it, crashes on less than 2 mins...What's wrong? It freezes, and the only option left is hard reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, test with another USB stick to see if symptom is repeatable on same computer.If not, try to see if this HP site helps? or this or google around this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotnik Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 1. Like someone else stated, try the stick in another computer. If the same thing happens then the stick is bad.2. Try using the stick on the same computer under a different operating system installation either on a different installation location or removable media. If the same thing happens, try a different stick.3. If the other stick fails, then you likely have a bad motherboard and/or usb controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishBowl Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Try another USB controller.Like, if having problems on a front USB port, compare with one on the back.Quite often the cables of front ports are not shielded properly and this for behave far from reliable, specially for USB2. Or the internal connector does not sit properly.Also think about adding some extra PCI controller for USB2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Check for driver updates (or a downgrade). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
