Hi

I have been having trouble with USB memory sticks on my PC. My current one works on every PC but mine. When i use it on mine it always shows up but hardly ever lets me access the device, it always says it is searching for content. While this is happening if i right click my computer and go to manage, disk management nothing shows up. everything in the control panel goes really slow. and ejecting the memory stick is incredibly slow.
If i attempt to shut the pc down while the memory stick is still in my PC it will hang at "logging off" until the stick is removed!
Other memory sticks all work first time BUT if i click the safely remove icon in my system tray bottom right it takes so long for the menu to eject to appear. sometimes i have to click on other icons for it to kick in and let me eject memory sticks.

It feels so buggy and slow, like its getting hooked somewhere whenever usb memory sticks are used. I updated windows and allowed it to update any drivers, it tells me my usb drivers are all up to date but i just cant get it to run smoothly!

im running windows 7 64bit i think its home premium edition.
asus p8z68-v
16gb ram
i7 2600k
gtx 770

anybody got any idea what is going on?
Thanks

ram n cpu levels fine. Eset nod32 has come back with zero results in recent scans.

my usb has troubles opening but all usbs have trouble ejecting. it just feels like a driver is bugged but i cant seem to fix it
