Hi all

Was just wondering if anyone could help.

I have a pc that has XP pro on it.

Whenever I plug in any device that is USB, the computer blue screens and restarts. I have tired all USB connectors and it;s the same story. Also if I leave the USB device plugged in the computer is stuck in a boot loop. But if I take it out windows will load up fine.

I'm pretty sure this isn't hardware related as I created another partition and put the same copy of XP on it and it doesn't reset when I plug any USB device in.

Have also tried uninstalling all drivers, running in safe mode etc to no avail.

I am really stumped and any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.
