Flash drive keeps disconnecting and reconnecting every second.
So I have this pretty sweet flash drive. 64GB and USB 3.0. I used it for a while but it wasn't fast enough so I enabled write caching. The downside to write caching is that unplugging the flash drive without ejecting is more dangerous. I don't know if this was the problem or even when the problem started, but one day my flash drive stopped working. A while later it started saying it was unformatted, I forgot what I did. But today I went to format it.
After plugging it in the "You need to format this drive to format it. Would you like to do that now?" popped up. I closed it, then it popped up again. And again. And again and again and again. These windows also interuppted whatever I was doing, being thrusted on top of all the other windows. Also they happened every single second. On "Computer" I could see my flash drive disappearing and reappearing for a brief moment every second.
System Specs:
Intel i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz
Intel HD Graphics 3000 (Jealous?)
4 GB RAM
Windows 7 professional service pack 1 2009
TOSHIBA Laptop

I recently enabled my paging file if that means anything. That's all I can remember doing.
I'm pretty much unable to do anything with the drive because I only have time to type one letter before yet another formatting window pops up. Also the drive keeps disconnecting or something so any formats will fail.
I have used a USB SSD and other flash drive today and they both worked fine.
