Blue Screen of Death with USB Device Plugged in On Boot

Gary Seven · Jul 18, 2003

I just bought a new ABit motherboard and have WIndows 2000 Pro on it. When I have anythign plugged into the USB port, it will blue screen on me right when WIndows starts. I installed SP 4 and still have the same problem. If I have a USB optical mouse in there, its fine, but if I pkug anything else in addition to that USB mouse I blue screen. I tried taking the mouse off, same result. When i only have the mouse plugged in, everythign is OK. So far it happens with two webcams, a ZIP drive and an Epson Printer. What the heck is going on? The blue screen message says something about an Exception not being handled.

Have you installed the newest Intel inf drivers (assuming it's an intel chipset, you didn't tell us anything about the board other than it's an Abit)?

Sorry about that. Its an Abit BH7. i am using the drivers that came off the CD.
The error is this: blue screen of death we've all come to know and love. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

the Intel Inf drivers are for the chipset on the board including devices like the USB ports in some cases...
