I have an 8 GB ScanDisk cruzer, and whenever i plug it in my computer and use it, every 10-20 min. of usage, my computer crashes and i get the Blue Screen of death.

Hi Newcomer and Welcome to the Tom's hardware forum.

Is that flash drive working fine with your mom's laptop?
Have you tried inserting in some other USB ports?

If it is working fine with your mom's laptop means, copy all the data to her system,
and format the flash drive & try again in your system!

Have you tried any other flash drive in your system? If not , do it first!
Are they working fine??

I have used all the anti-virus apps you spoke of and am currently using Microsoft Security Essentials. I must say that there has been some malware that other anti-virus apps let through. Please, download the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware from fillehippo
http://filehippo.com/software/antimalware/ This little free program is becoming the standaed for killing off those natsty forms of alware that other programs can't seem to touch or detect...gwb56
