Everytime i plug usb device my computer restart....

Ill plug my USB device and my computer restart... what should i do with it?

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    Just a few questions for clarification. What kind of USB device did you connect to your computer? Have you tried any other USB devices? Was it specific to that device only? Did you get an error message before it restarts? if there are any error messages, what are they?

Belkin n600 db wiresless dualband usb adapter keeps shutting off

That's been a problem for years. Sleep mode turns off USB devices, and they seldom wake when the computer is activated again. To make sure this isn't the problem, you can
  • Go into Device Manager and under each USB Device, Power tab, disable "Let this device turn off to save power".
  • Edit Sleep Mode to not control USB devices.
  • Don't use Sleep Mode.
  • Unplug the adapter, wait a few seconds, plug in the adapter.
If none of these help, try a self-powered hub. The internal power supply lets you use about 500ma for each USB device, but some draw more current than that. The self-powered hub can deliver what's actually needed for the devices.

Plugging device into USB makes computer restart

I had just scrubbed the hard drive and reloaded the operating system and I could not install the linksys because the machind rebooted everytime I plugged in the usb connection. I noticed a box coming up that was trying to dial up an internet connection. I went into the windows internet setup and checked the box that say "never dial a connection". This seems to have fixed the problem.

USB

you should have a driver installed on your computer so that your device will recognize the device youve plug. if still not work then your usb driver must have a problem. try to plug any usb device to your computer aside from your camcorder then see if it works. if other device is working then your usb on your system is not the problem. youll need a driver for your camcorder. if other device wont work too then your usb nor the driver got a problem. be sure to install both this time. if you need a driver for you camcorder(if you dont have) ill find one. but almost all brand new camcorders camed with a driver and appication software. if you dont have a driver for the usb then ill find too. hope that helps!

2gb micro cruzer causing the pc to restart

Do you have another USB device which you can use to check if it will come up with the same problem? There are 3 things which could cause it to freeze and restart. It could be a problem with the software device driver needed to detect the USB micro cruzer, the USB port itself or it's the USB micro cruzer. One good thing worth to try is plugging your USB micro cruzer on another computer to check if the problem will also occur there. If it does, then it's isolated to the USB device. If there's no other computer available, 1) Try to run an anti-virus and anti-spyware scan on your computer, 2) start up your computer on safe mode and try to check if it'll occur there as well. 3) If it doesn't occur under safe mode and your able to access your USB device, try to run an anti-virus and anti-spyware scan on your USB device to check for problems there. 4) If all else fails, then it could be a problem with the USB device. hope this helps.
