Flash drive doesn't work on my machine

[WC Annihilus]

That's right, the flash drive I won from the competition does not work on my computer. End flashes red a few times, then stays on red, 30s later, bsod: BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER. The thing is, it works perfectly fine on my brothers laptop, and when I RMAed, worked fine on Super Talent's machine too (which is why I'm not going to bother them again). I've tried numerous (ok, only 2 or so) other flash drives and they all work, so this thing is stumping me. Any suggestions?

maybe look for new or older usb 2.0 drivers differt ones might work for you. And look around in bios see if you got flash options for hi speed and full speed.

Are you plugging the drive directly into your motherboard or into one of your cases usb ports? Or have you tried both?

The PC I built for my folks was having all kinds of problems when they plugged their ipod into the cases USB ports. Worked fine for their digital camera, just not ipod. In the end it turned out that their cases USB ports just couldnt handle USB2, so I had to downgrade the port to USB1

Direct motherboard ports. Again, what perplexes me is that it works in other machines and other flash drives work on my machine

You got Legacy USB enabled in the BIOS?

 

[WC Annihilus]

Hmm, yes, yes it is. I have no idea what that does though (I was too lazy to Google it yesterday)

Pffft baffles me, the only thing I`d look at is the Win/mobo USB drivers. Maybe theres a fix/patch/upd8.

I'd say your best bet is to update from Windows 95

I'm debating whether that is sarcasm or not cause I have no idea where I ever mentioned Windows 95 :eh:

Haha! Sorry but that was pretty funny to read. Where did the 95 idea come from?

Anywhoo back on topic: I believe that maybe the drivers are a problem? If not then im afraid to say it might be a dodgy drive...

Have you tried formatting it again froma nother machine then trying it again?

Dude..aint you running the USB on your system at 1000hz....?

Jesus Christ! How do you do that?

Poll rate. But XMS, when you change the poll rate for your mouse it only affects that port.

 

[WC Annihilus]

That's what I thought. Anyways, when I got home dropped it down to 500mhz to test and did nothing. This is weird...

 

[Rastalovich]

Thinking along those lines, USB channels do share resources with other things on the mobo, might be worth looking into that angle if u`ve clocked something.

EDIT: Be worth testing the power the USB2 sockets are supplying.

Sounds like a compatibilty issues, very very rare on a flash drive but if you can use other drives just fine, and yours works ok on others computers, then that pretty much gives you your answer.
