    USB Probem

    Got a customer with a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop, XP Professional. Everytime you plug in an external hard drive or flash drive it blue screens. I have searched for Blue Screen error messages on Microsofts websites, but there are onyl numbers displayed never a error message. Have re-installed the USB drivers, run AV and anti spyware just in case. Tried plugging in a powered USB Hub but the same problem occured when I plugged that in even though there was nothing plugged into it.

    Does anyone have any ideas or come across this before.

    Thanks in advance
