Computer shuts down when I insert USB cable

Samus, on Thursday September 4, 2008 06:11:32 AM

Hello,

I just bought a brand new computer today and after about 30 minutes it just shut down, no warning, it completely lost power and did not restart/turn back on, it just crashed.

So I started it up, not thinking too much of it and about 5 minutes later it did it again, and again when I started it back up after only 1-2 minutes. I took a wild guess and removed the USB cable and had no other problems, I plugged it back in after starting my OS (windows XP) and it shut down immediately after recognizing the connection.

I've read all I can about this issue and can't seem to find any solutions.
I've tried resetting the connection through CMD, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ALL USB drivers, yet nothing seems to work.

Some things to know that might be useful:
My cable is on a lynxis router connected to a modem.. I actually have two other computers connected from the same router right now.
I've tried switching cords from a working computer, it still shuts down instantly after connecting.
After uninstalling my drivers and having them automatically re-installed, I was able to stay connected to the internet for about 5 minutes before it instantly shut down, as oppose to it shutting down as soon as I plugged the USB cable in.

That's all.. any help/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 2.0.0.16

Hello,

I have the same problem.
I power up PC, start Windos XP. And I have no problems. But when I connecto some usb pendrive, usb printer cable or when I plug the ethernet cable of the integrated motherboard card, the pc shut down. No blue screen, no repport. It's like a power loss.

Same here. I'd try turning off "allow USB to bring comp out of standby" It work for me.

You can do this in Device manager/ USB Root Hub/Properties/Power management

Cheers
