Hey, so it seems like every time I insert a USB flash stick into my PC the USB WiFi adapter takes a dump.

Is there something wrong with my USB connectors? Or is this to be expected? Any ideas?

This is definitely not expected or usual. I am guessing there is an issue with the USB ports.. I would try to look for an updated USB driver, and try running the wifi adapter in a different usb port.
