I have seen similar threads, but I haven't gotten a foolproof solution.
This is my first home build:
Gigabyte EP45-UD3P
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
2 GB DDR2 1066 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4870
When I plug any USB device into the rear or case ports (except mouse and keyboard) while in Windows my computer will freeze. If I have the device plugged in before booting, it will crash just before getting to Windows. I have had this happen with both an iPod Touch and a USB wireless n adapter. It occurs in both Windows XP and Windows 7 RC.
I've tested the RAM, HDD, and CPU, and they are all error-free.
I am thinking the motherboard is the culprit, but I want to make sure before I buy a replacement. If anyone has any helpful information towards solving my problem, please post it. If anyone can confirm that the motherboard is the problem, then reply so I can get a replacement sooner.
