usb issues

Every time Microsoft updates Windows 7 it causes new problems on what's been a relatively stable Dell XPS8000. The latest update causes my DVD / CD drive (HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GH50N ATA Device) to be inaccessible! By running System Restore I've brought it back from the 'bit-bucket', but I'd really...

First time post here, so let me know if I leave out anything that could be useful. I've been having a few problems with my fairly new windows 7 and I'm not sure if they're related. It started out with USB mass storage devices (Thumb drives, external HDs, etc...) not being recognized. I get...

Hi guys, Here is the story of my sad spiral into doom: 1) I use a SmartNav head tracker (hands-free mouse). One day it started giving choppy performance in first person shooters. It seemed to be due to a dodgy webcam driver I'd installed. No problem, right? I used Win7 restore points to...

Hi All I've been suffering from random BSOD's for a good while now (before I OC'd it, before you say anything :P) but they've recently gotten more and more common (1-3 in an evening), and it's getting a teensy bit annoying :P It started getting worse after I went from Vista to 7/XP in August...

Hello. I've been experiencing BSOD's within the past 3 months. Even while typing this post for the first time, my computer BSOD'd and I lost the post, so I'll try to make this fast. I've followed the steps on how to ask for help and my RAR file is attached below. While those DMP files will...

Hi all, I'm having a problem that seems to be shared by many other users based on the number of forum threads i've come accross related to this topic. I'll describe it in some detail to avoid the usual advice which hasn't worked so far so please bear with me. I am unable to move files onto...

Hi there, I did a search on google and through these forums search function but all I can seem to find are topics about vista and backing up problems, and a few things about install problems. I did find a link to a microsoft hotfix for my problem, but it was only for specifically 4GB+ of Ram...

I have HP DV7 laptop and until recently no issues but over the last month I have BSOD issues. DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE with umbus.sys. I have attached a copy of the latest dump file. I have updated the drivers for the video card and the webcam and updated the BIOS. It appears to be...

When I use a pen drive and click the safely remove icon the message never comes up that it is safe to remove the hardware. It used to work but now doesn't. I am using windows 7 64 bits

I had used it before with this computer, for a backup in January probably, but I went to use it to back it up again recently, and it did not work. It does not show up anywhere on the computer, though the drive lit up and started. It's a Seagate Expansion 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard...

As you can see from image I have an unknown device that is USB related. The funny part is I have tested all my USB ports with different devices and they all work and the devices work. I have no idea why this is happening. It is not a big deal as everything runs fine but woulod like to know why...

I upgraded to windows 7 a while back and have several issues. One is if my computer is on and I plug in my memory stick Windows does not read it. Only when I reboot will I be able to read the memory stick which is very annoying. Thoughts?
