Computer crashes when usb barely connects.
My father's computer running windows 7 ultimate seems to crash frequently. The other day, he was plugging in his USB flash drive, and had it upside down, and as soon as it made contact, the computer crashed. There was an on-going problem with plugging in this usb flash drive, that I thought we had resolved after I ran some error checks, and re-formatted it, but according to him, all it did was make brief contact with the usb port, and the screen went instantly black and said no-signal.
It also had chronic problems crashing coming out of hibernate, so set it to never hibernate. Today, I need to do some serious trouble-shooting on this machine. Any advice very much appreciated.
