PC Shuts down when I insert my Wireless USB

Hi guys. This is a strange one. I have a Netgear MA111 Wireless USN Adapter....whenever I insert my USB into the PC my PC shuts down. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem. Have had it working before on the same PC. Am wondering if this usb is conflicting with anything?



Am currently using a wired connection to use the internet but would love to be able to use the Wireless USB again as it was a good bit of kit.



Hope someone can help



Cheers guys

Some (older) PC motherboards couldn't supply enough power to the USB ports, and used to crash if you overloaded them.

My own PC went through a phase of rebooting when you plugged something in a USB socket, due to a faulty ground connection somewhere. I took the case off, wiggled everything muchly, and the problem went 'way.
