Blue Screens....possible problem w/ usb port or dvd drive

I am having trouble with my system blue screening after pluggin in a usb drive and or putting a cd into the dvd drive. I just don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Can you copy down the stop code and post it here?
It will take the form of:

Code:

STOP: 0x#### (0x####, 0x####, 0x####, 0x####) Error Type

 

Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 bf895806, parameter3 9ab54c9c, parameter4 00000000.

Is this what you needed? The other screen flashes to quickly for me to get the error code.

 

I had this problem and I updated the driver for the USB ports for my HP. That solved the problem. I still have blue screens every once in awhile, but now they're always associated with a TV tuner I have on this PC. It loses the cable signal occasionally, then sometimes when I unplug it and replug it the machine will blue screen. I don't pay attention to them any more when that happens. I take those as a driver conflict, and it only rarely happens...

I think most blue screens are driver issues. I recommend BlueScreenView to see what's causing the crash. You can post the report, too, which might help with diagnosis...
