[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1109940, member: 46727"] This is probably a simple case of the USB power bus being exceeded and the machine shuts down automatically to protect the power supply. Quite normal. Buy your GF a powered USB hub. That should resolve the problem. Powered hubs can be found at Best Buy, Radio Shack, Office Depot, etc. [/QUOTE]
