Strange Kingston USB issue

Thanks a lot LookinAround! Dang computers it is!!! :haha:

Indeed.

This computer at work, freezes up for no apparent reason with no error message, or anything in the Event Viewer (its an HP DX7510MT) if power saving is on, it happens very rarely though. However, if the power saving options are set only for display etc. it works flawlessly forever. I've tried so many things so far, all the hardware tests, PSU voltage checking etc., HDD tests and what not.

I suspect its not an OS issue, so yes Computers ................. :evil:

Exactly what I did with regard to the last issue I've shared with you guys.

Guys! I need your opinion on another issue.

Will 'humid environment' reduce motherboard's life significantly? Or what precautions one should take in such environment to prolong the motherboard's life?

I have to abstain on this one. Don't know the answer. "Me speakee limited Hardware language"

While thinking about the issue at hand, I remembered that an relatively easy but 'laborious' workaround for this issue do exist, i.e. cleaning the PCBs (i.e. motherboard / graphic card etc.) with either petrol soaked clothing or with eraser (must be big one !!), both of these methods can remove carbon/salt deposits which occurs due to humidity, and I have tested both in the past, but as it was long time ago, I almost forgot about them . Only problem is, you have to do the cleaning again and again and again ..... after a while. I don't know how much a good de-humidifier will cost, but that is another alternative (suggested by Mathew).
