The best-laid plans of mice and men...

[xoder]

So I found out the reason for the crashes of doom... The Question is what do I do about it?

When I touch the shield of my thumbdrive to the shield of the front ports of my computer, it reboots. Therefore, its a severe grounding problem. Any suggestions outside of running a wire from my case to the nearest cold water pipe?

Does it only happen when using the front ports? Have you tested it in the back?

I'd go with the cold water pipe thing myself. It'd be a conversation starter if nothing else. :)
