PC shuts down when USB is pluggedSolved/Closed

Question

Hello,

This problem started shortly and whenever I will put any USB device in my PC, it shuts itself down. Windows have adviced me for BIOS upgrades. But, I don't know anything about that. 

Can you help me please?

System Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

Hi,

It is most likely an issue with the USB cable. I tried to upload pics from my digital camera via USB and it rebooted my laptop twice. 

After the second time, I switched the USB cable with another one and it worked perfectly. I guess, it is the USB that is creating issue. It could be damaged. 

Just try a new one!

Thanks!

I have had a similar problem.  I pluged in my dvd player via a usb cable and my pc shut down without notice.  Now it won't boot up at all.  It will turn on and all the fans run and I can hear the HDD start to run but no video or beeps.  I think maybe the dvd player fried something.  I've tried removing the ram, unplugging the usb cable from the mb but nothing works.  The mb power led lights up so I'm thinking maybe the cpu is toast but I don't know how to check that and I don't want to buy a new one and find out that's not the problem.  Any suggestions? I've also tried switching the hard drives but that did nothing.

Thanks

I just corrected the same problem on my desk top. Re-install  or update your USB drivers. If that doesn't work  replace your power supply. I swiched mine out and it fixed the problem.

Actually This Problem Nothing But One Electric Power Effect .....
