It sounds like you have a driver issue your best bet would be to re-install windows

Don't say "pls help". We will help you no matter what.
Try different USB ports. Also, try plugging only one thing at a time, to check which is causing problems.

Just reinstall windows. Why are you still using XP?

That's a point. If your computer still runs XP, I'd just recommend buying a new computer. Faster and new warranty.

Your ports may be having a grounding issue, try other usb peripherals with the machine and see if things like flash drives cause it to freeze up. But more likely you have a driver issue that can be solved by disabling or uninstalling the drivers for whatever the device names are under device manager.
