PC shuts down when I plug the iPod USB cable in :(

Hi,
I have just bought an iPod Nano 8GB. Downloaded the latest version of iTunes and installed. Then as soon as plugged the USB cable into the PC it shut down instantly. I had to wait a good 5 minutes when before it would boot back up again. I have tried the front and rear USB port... but to no avail
I running Windows Vista and my PC spec is as follows:
AMD Athlon X2 4600 Dual Core
2GB Corsiar RAM
256MB GeForce 7600GS
320GB SATA II HDD
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum with Nvidia nForce 3 Ultra Chipset (motherboard)
The USB ports are all 2.0 compatible.
My PSU is 400W.
I have 3 USB devices plugged in the rear and nothing in the front. Devices connected are:
Keyboard
Printer
Scanner
I am sort of guessing the iPod USB cable is causing a surge of some sort, but I might be wrong.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be... and to fix it please?
Many thanks,
Gazza.

Have you tried to use a different USB port on the PC?
Does the same thing happen when you plug in a different USB device?
Try a restart of the PRE and try again. Go to device info, reset options and select restart. Try again and see if you get the same error.
When you get the Blue Screen Of Death in Windows, it ususally means that Windows has a problem and needs to be reinstalled.
You could try to re-insall the usb drivers for your PC and see if that may resolve the BSOD error. You may need to contact the PC manufacturer for assistance in re-installing the USB drivers.

  • PC shuts down when I plug phone into USB

    Every time I plug my phone into the USB port, the PC shuts down...has anyone else ever had this happen and why? It goes to a blue debug screen and when it starts back up it says it has recovered from an unexpected shut down.

  • ITunes shuts down when I plug in my iPod

    I've used my iPod without a problem since Christmas. For the past week, when I plug in my iPod, iTunes shuts down due to an unnamed error.
    I have reinstalled all my USB drivers, removed all of my Apple software twice and reinstalled it twice (once with the guidance of an Apple tech via phone). The Apple tech guy sent me to the Apple store to replace my iPod, which I did. But none of that has fixed the problem.
    So now, I'm left with an empty iPod that can't sync with my library because iTunes keeps shutting down when I plug in the iPod. The people at the Apple store said they couldn't help me further because I have a PC. The people at Microsoft won't take any responsibility because iTunes is an Apple product. So, I'm left with a $200 iPod that is suddenly for some unexplained reason, shutting down iTunes. So now, both the iPod and iTunes are worthless.
    Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I'm a singer and depend upon my iPod for rehearsal, so I need it fixed ASAP. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sorry I wasn't very clear the first time. Changing the Drive Letter is done through Disk Management in Windows. I suggested you open the itunes preferences in hopes that you would then be able to connect your ipod without it crashing.
    To change the drive letter:
    Since we know this trick works
    First open itunes, then select Edit-Preferences and leave this open.
    Then, follow the steps [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493]
    I use Q, R and T for my ipods so the computer doesn't confuse it with other removable devices.

  • My Ipod nano 6Th sometimes shuts down when I connect the phones, sometimes it not shuts down, but the volume and standby buttons do not work.

    My Ipod nano 6Th sometimes shuts down when I connect the phones, sometimes it not shuts down, but the volume and standby buttons do not work. If I not connect the phones everything works fine. But with the phones connected it goes crazy. I alredy reset, restore and nothing. If I reset and let the phones connect the up and down volumes buttons start to work. But the power/stand by button don´t. I need to disconect the phones to the power/stand by button starts  to works. Anyone already have simmilar problem?

    A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.
    let's get a crash log from itunes, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
    Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
    drwtsn32 -i
    And hit return.
    This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
    prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
    Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address.
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

    Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

    My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.  The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device.  I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect.  The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable.  When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine).  There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo.  Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue?  I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me.  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself.  However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?

    that is odd! that should not be happening.
    Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

  • I have a ipod shuffle synced to a desktop (ver 9), I have a new laptop and downloaded itunes (ver 10.7).  When i plug the ipod in the new laptop it wants to delete my songs. How do i use my new alptop and ipod together?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Ipod classic has been wiped. cannot see it on the 'device list' in my itunes. I have tried restoring to factory settings and reloading...it reloads some of the music, but when I plug the Ipod back in, it wipes it again.

    Ipod classic has been wiped saying 'no music'etc.
    Cannot see it on the 'device list' in my itunes. I have tried restoring to factory settings and reloading...it reloads some of the music, but when I plug the Ipod back in, it wipes it again. Ocassionally Itunes freezes when I plug in the Ipod.

    Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug. 
    A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.
