USB Devices in Windows 7 Problems (video)

Thanks Whest, +rep

Sorry out of ideas and mad at myself - you could attach the drive internally I guess.

Nah its cool man, don't be mad at yourself. Going to call a few people at shops and see if they can see whats going on other then that you were a great help!

How would i go about doing that? I Don't have any adapters so maybe I'll give that a miss for the moment

just had a look at the video, and i guess its only usb by the looks, so it wont connect internally

Yeah, Like, WHY is it only disk drives that crash my pc? and not anything like phones or cameras?

Freezing up sounds like an old IRQ or DMA issue to me. Interrupt Requests and Direct Memory Addressing, something that since XP has been mainly a non-issue.
Along those lines, if your BIOS let's you specify IRQ's I'd put them to the lowest numbers (not all the same) and see if it helps. Reaching, I know...

On the plus side: You can upgrade that slow E5200 to much better CPUs also.
Ouch, got me looking at my own, wondering how much better Quads are in Win7 64-bit than my E8400.

I have a Gigabyte mb too (GA-P35-DS3L), this had me checking mine for a bios update, Gigabyte has that @BIOS utility, at least in XP it worked fine for me.
[I had latest, unchanged since 6/19/09.]

Faladu, I'm very slow when it comes to bios and I'm not sure if it has anything on IRQ's... And also I updated with the same program.

No More help?
