blue screen of death

[Ulf]

Hi,
whenever I unplug an attached device to any of my 8 USB 2.0 ports on my
XP Professional sp1 (with all ms hotfixes and windows update patches) I
get a blue screen of death telling me that windows will start dumping
physical memory, even though I use "safelly remove USB device from your
computer". I have to reset the computer - there´s no other way simply.
I´ve checked device manager for conflicts but everything seem just
fine. This all started without me knowingly having had made any
software or hardware changes. Has anyone got a clue about this?
I have a P4 3,2 GHz P4P800-E Deluxe ASUSTEK I865PE, S478, 4XDDR,
USB2.0,RAID with 1024 Mb of RAM system.

Thanks for your help!

If doing an Unplug causes a BSOD then your USB ports/channels may
be experiencing a surge or spike. My first step to resolve would be to
update the Chipset driver package for the motherboard. You should
also check.
1.) Each USB Controller, Advanced (TAB) for % Bandwidth
2.) Each USB Root Hub for Power consumption

Ok! thanks! I´ll see if I can update the chipset or flash BIOS
possibly. Your next suggesting steps "1.) Each USB Controller, Advanced
(TAB) for % Bandwidth 2.) Each USB Root Hub for Power consumption "
Well I don´t really know here what you mean? How do I check bandwith
and power consumption for each USB Root Hub/Controller? Does one just
right click on the USB Root Hub/Controller in device manager and click
on an advanced tab?

System Properties, Hardware (TAB), Device Manager.

Each Root Hub can supply 500 mA (Half-Ampere) of current, shared
between all devices connected to that Hub. XP normally will "Trap"
over current states - but it's worth checking.

Bandwidth of each controller is also shared. The System will hold
in reserve a % of the available bandwidth. Some "Composite" type
of devices will consume a hefty share of a controllers bandwidth.

I have experienced a similar problem and found it directly related to
Aluria Software. I had installed the Aluria Spyware software and even
though I uninstalled it, there was remnants left. The last two were
files in my C:\Windows\System folder. It appears once I removed
everything associated with Aluria that the problem has went away.

I emailed Aluria and here is the response.

Yes, you can delete both files. Be sure after deletion that you reboot
so the files are no longer loaded on your computer's memory.

Thank You,

I uninstalled Aluria, but I find that I still have a few remnants left
behind. Can I just delete the following?
AlurFltr from c:/system32/drivers
and
AluriaReg.dll from c:/system32

I hope this information may be of assistance.
