    I actually work at a little shop and interestingly enough 2 computers, one laptop and one desktop, one is a dell and the other a jetbook. Both have the exact same problem. When I plug in a flash drive I get a Blue Screen.

    "An attempt to execute non-executable memory"

    I googled the bug check and nothing really points to one particular issue (which they usually don't). Is this coinsidence or is it a new virus thats sneaking around.

    I'm working on scanning one of the drives and waiting to perform a Windows Repair on the other. If I find out what the problem is I will be sure to post the solution so in case if anyone else is experiencing the problem they'll know how to fix it.

    If you are certain that the thumb drive contains no virus, then this is either a software or hardware issue.

    If it's the same Flash Drive it could have errors. Even if it's a brand new one right out of the factory. Try another one?
