I bought a new casio digital camera and when trying to connect to my pc, the system shut down and was able to restart but said there was a serious problem. i have a second pc and can connect without difficulties. I bought a card reader and tried and the same thing happened, so i assumed i have a problem with my usb ports, though my printers and a webcam does not elicit the same reaction.
anyone with any thoughts?
