I have a friend’s computer that cannot start normally, always gets the bsod, with anything plugged into any of the USB ports. With nothing plugged in, it starts normally, but as soon as I plug in something to the USB port, I get the bsod. Safe Mode does the same thing. Unfortunately, I can’t use the keyboard or mouse for this problem, because this computer doesn’t have PS/2 ports, so I have to use USB for those devices. I can start from a Windows XP disk and the USB devices work fine. I’ve also started it in Linux and the USB devices work fine. What can I do to fix the USB drivers so it doesn’t cause a bsod?
