USB Problem

[jonken]

Can someone please assist.

When I connect a flash to my USB front prt of my pc it freezes. I can't do anything and have to reboot the machine. But it will hang if the flash is still connected to my pc.

I am using windows xp dual booting with Suse 10.0 which again don't see any flash or my digital camera connected through the USB port.

Do i need to reload my windows and Suse or is it a hardware problem?
