    Computer crashes after HDMI/Aux cable is connected


    I recently found out that every time i plug in a HDMI or Auxiliary cable, my computer crash. I tried changing the cable to see if that was the problem and it wasn't. I just don't know where to look to start fixing the problem. I've considered that maybe the connector is faulty, but i'm looking for option before going to that.

    I use HDMI to connect my TV for movies
    I use the auxiliary Cable to connect a speaker.
    on different occasion.

    Did you try shutting the computer down, plugging in the cable then starting back up? I've crashed a computer when plugging in a USB Thumb/Flash drive, turned out it was caused by static electricity that I'd built up walking across a carpeted room, now have anti-static touch pads on my desks to touch before anything else.

    I've tried restarting the laptop but it dosent fix the problem. It only crash around 10 min after initial connection, so i dont think it would be a static probleme.

    That does put a whole different slant on the issue, could be either hardware or software issue.
