downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hey people.I have a problem with my pc.When ever i start my webcam, or plug something into my USB port, my pc screen turns off, and the music stops playing, or my PC restarts by itself It doesnt do it ALL the time, but MOST of the time.Iv done a virus check with "symantec anti-virus corporate edition" and it only found 1 virus, and i deleted it using this programe.I also done a Spy-Ware and found 2 spy-wares, and deleted them.But it still happens Can anyone help on what it might be?Its asif the USB uses all the power the PC has to run, just to run the thing iv plugged in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Do you regularly unplug it without "ejecting" it in your Windows?Just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Not sure if it does or if it's just psychological but mine messed up before and I was blamed for not properly ejecting it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 er yeah - you ought to eject it really. does it happen if you plug it into a different hole ? try to get it onto a different controller from any other high bandwidth devices - eg memory key jibbers or USB hard drives. it could - in stupid b*****d computer land - be drawing too much power or something stupid like that.

DeeZee Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hell, I wouldn't worry about petite things like "ejecting" the device. I have thousands of USB devices, including a Russian made, limited production, USB mattress.If I was you (Stranger things have happened) I'd check the drivers for the USB software, then ensure that your MOBO is playing ball, and has all the USB options enables in Bios.It sounds like a crazy driver issue. Worth checking proper tech forums than a trials forum ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) That sounds like a driver problem to me. Reinstall the usb drivers, if you do not have them, you can get them off google as long as you know your motherboards make and model. Try that and it should be sound!CheersHoot Edited January 10, 2006 by Hoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I think my pc might be under warrenty still, probably just get them to sort it?Saves me from fooking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
