This is a TOFFIE deluxe and i need some ideas 
Customer with a usb problem:
He bought a 4gb axiz usb flash drive from local retailer. 1st time he goes to work and copies fotos + documents to work with them at home.
Problem - windows gives the usb init sound , and drive letter e: is opened with all the choices of what you would like to do: - so he selects explore.
If he clicks on ANY document or if any thumbnail is processed for thumb display - explorer locks for a few seconds and the USB stick is disconnected.
If you right click on ANY file - the file size is 0 and soon afterwards the USB stick "ejects/redetects" ....
The 4gb stick works 100% on his work pc - but not at all on his home pc.
He has got a 2gb stick - since monday after this happened - exact same result with his 2gb stick.
NOW: - he also has got a 256mb usb1 stick - which works 100% ...
I've tested my 50-in-1 card reader usb with a 4gb camera flash card on his pc - works 100% on his pc.
The only thing i can think of is that his psu ( 5volt ) is damaged ...usb needs 100mA to start and 500mA to run.
Also to make the situation more interesting - he has got a VIA pci usb 4 port card in....the 4gb and 2gb flash drives behaves exactly the same as in the rear and front ports of the mainboard usb.
So i dunno..
Going to take a 400watt psu tonight and maybe a xp-lite that can boot from cd just to test if its psu and or o/s.
pc is a 2.6ghz (533fsb 478) on a gigabyte mobo - have tested for spyware and virus - clean.
2cents?
