blue screen

[stots]

I searched around on the internet and haven't been able to find a solution so here it goes.

When i plug in my 3g 20gb ipod into my firewire port (Texas Instrument IEEE 1394) my computer recognizes it as a removable e: drive. Problem is whenever i try to access the drive (either through musicmatch, ephpod, or even just clicking on the drive) my computer immediately shuts down and gives me the blue screen of death.

I have tried reloading all the drivers and downloading the new ones and that still has not helped.

As a note, i used to be able to sync up my ipod perfectly (using musicmatch) untill several days ago when this bsod starting coming up.

Thanks for your help

What OS, if its 98 (which I am guessing) then ditch it. 98 is bsod machine, it will never stop.

XP has given me 2 bsod's ever, and I've been using it since it came out.

I am using winxp so I don't think that is the problem

Thanks anyway

Have you tried using windows restore to bring your PC back to before you started getting the BSOD's

It sounds like a hardware conflict. Your firewire card is PCI, right? If so try moving to card to a different PCI slot. Sometimes this fixes such issues.
