Computer Crashes When plugging in USB Devices

[xderkaderkaxx]

Hello,
It seems that whenever I plug in any USB devices into my front ports, every once and a while my computer displays will go black and the system will crash. I wanted to know if there was an explanation for this, and if it is destructive to my components when it happens. Thanks.

Full Disclosure: I don't have experience with that case.

Anyway, the old Antec Sonata III used to have this ESD problem when the case used a metallic front bezel to cover the front USB ports. Touching the bezel would crash a system, make it reboot, etc. The same thing could be happening in your case.
