Dell e1505 Laptop, Windows XP
I have a powered USB hub that I use for my mouse/keyboard and printer. The hub is this one:

Every once in a while when I plug in the hub, the computer freezes with no chance of recovery.
I have been using the hub without its own power supply, and after searching around I read that the freezing might be an issue with the computer USB not having enough power for the hub+devices. So I just connected the external power, but on my first attempt the computer froze again.
It doesn't do it every time, but this is getting annoying. Especially after I forget to save something before I plug in the hub to use my printer!
Any ideas? Could it be the hub and/or devices causing issues, or would be something with my computer?
