Take it back and try another brand.

These things are cheesy beyond belief and you may just
have gotten a bad one.

If it still does it with a different brand, THEN we can start
the surgery on your computer.

For what it's worth, I've used the exact same model a couple of times with
no problems.

To the OP: What does the blue screen say? What's in your event logs?

Install your chipset drivers! This should provide Xp the required drivers
to access the motherboard drivers, including the USB ones.

If you have a VIA chipset based motherboard, you should also add the USB
filter drivers.
