"Almost everytime (it doesn't do it all the time but like 90% of the time) I plug a USB key or my mp3 in my computer, it freezes all of a sudden. I've had this problem for a while and to be honest it's really bothering.
Can anyone give me some fix to try out if you have any idea of the problem, it would be very appreciated, thank you."
