Immediate Blue Windows Error Screen on Inserting Thumb Drive

05/11/2016 1:44 AM

I have never seen anything like this. A friend's computer.

Immediately on inserting a thumb drive in a USB port, this error screen appears:

First sentence ends with "to prevent DAMAGE to your computer."

  • System: 2007 Dell Desktop w/ WinXP with 512 MB RAM.
  • I've tried several thumb drives.
  • I've used 3 different USB ports.
  • USB ports work with mouse and keyboard.
  • Nothing shows amiss in Device Manager.

Has anyone ever seen something like this?

If so, did you find a fix?

It looks like a damaged usb driver.

Do you have the original installation disc?

If so, run a "repair installation" on your OS.

Like I said, not my computer and that option's already been discarded.

(I wouldn't be using a computer that old )!

Yes, XP is no longer supported, and the USB drivers you have on that computer probably are not going to be compatible with the new thumb drive that probably needs Windows 10 level driver.

The link in post #1 looks promising. I'll let y'all know how it goes. Adding to our database.

It's hell working on these old computers - they're so slooooooow!

Questions -

Did any kind of a new file appear in the root directory of the thumb drives causing the blue screen?

Did you run and save a disk checks on any of the thumb drives before and after the blue screen, the pre-blue screen check being on another XP computer that accepts the thumb drives without problem?

If none of the suggestions work and the above give clean results, you may want to try (assuming you have an open motherboard slot) bypassing the native USB's with -

The ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY bug check has a value of 0x000000FC. It indicates that an attempt was made to execute non-executable memory. This suggests a driver incompatibility error with XP. I'd have a read through https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/886348 and see if you can update the USB driver.
