This is about USB Pen Drive ?

Question

Whenever I connect my Kingston's pendrive to my PC, it restarts, why? Any specific reason, I'm using XP pro with P-III 810Mhz with 256MB RAM, Pls Help........

Answer 1

Try the pen on a different computer. If it works, then check your PC with the tips below.
If the other PC also crashes, replace the Pen Drive.

Right click on "My Computer" and choose "Settings..."
There should be a Tab "Advanced" with 3 categories.

In the third category "Start and Restore" (could be named slightly different, as I'm using a German Windows) click on "Settings"

In the new dialog, un-check the option "Restart automatically" above the category about "Debuginformation".

Now, when you plug in the pen drive, your PC will probably show a blue screen.

Write down the error code at the bottom of the screen and search Google for this error code.

Maybe you will find a solution to this crash. If you don't, ask again here, and quote the error message.

Also, if you are using an USB hub to connect the pen drive, try without the hub.
