Why does this happen ? Blue screen after moving any device to another USB port ?

[The Matrix]

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

Ive had this happen a few times in the past, if you have a keyboard or another USB device in a certain USB port, then while the pc is switched off you unplug that device and move it to another port. You then boot up the pc, after a short while you get a blue screen error message, no matter how many times you reboot you get the same blue screen error message.

If you then unplug all the USB devices while the PC is off, do a reboot and plug them back into any port the PC is switched on everything is fine and the blue screen error messages go away. What's the cause for it to do that ?

It's looking highly likely that its to do with the TP Link TL-WN822N Wireless adapter that i'm using, they havn't updated the drivers for a long time and it seems like other people are having the same issues with regular blue screens from using this adapter with Windows 7 64 bit.

Have you got any recent files in c:\windows\minidump? If so upload them to http://www.osronline.com/page.cfm?name=analyze and post the results. That should help pinpoint what it was.

Pho, i appreciate that. I'll post it on another thread as others may not see it in the title of this one.

Install the driver from the wifi chipset maker. Probably atheros, but find out

I installed it when i did a fresh install, i use a separate USB Wireless Wi-fi adapter which has its own driver, maybe the 2 things are clashing ?

This is what i'm using for Wi-fi

TP-Link arne't the chipset maker

Look up the model and see what chipset it has. I'd assume Atheros, or possibly Realtek.

If it's Atheros, visit https://www.atheros.cz and get the right driver.
