USB 2.0 or USB 3 ports?
Branded PC? What brand and model? Motherboard info?

I suspect it's a power issue, not enough current in the port.


That's an idea, although they're both the same Gigabyte MB, probably
working great with other Flashsticks. At least I doubt I'd run into
that issue with other than the Crucial brand flashstick. (I don't
actually use my other flashsticks much anymore, although I'm often on
the Crucial.) If that were the case a HUB and direct connect to MB
headers might be indicated. There is one USB3 port, although seems
I've noticed a couple people say, with my MB, they've burn out the
controller for it. Flashsticks, some I hear, can get very hot pushing
their limits at USB3 speeds.
