Default USB Problems

I have a system that I built about a year ago and have had USB problems with
it almost from the beginning. (The system is described below.) Anytime I
try and transfer groups of files totaling more than 1 or 2 gigs through a
USB port to an outside drive (of any sort) the system locks up. If I keep
the total under that value and do it piecemeal, the system eventually locks
up after several batches. When I say "locks up" I mean I have to cold boot
to bring it back up. Another symptom is that when using Explorer to move
files around, the system will often not let me access, i.e., delete or
rename, a directory even though it's no longer being accessed. Only after a
reboot of the system can that directory or file be disposed of properly.



My question is this: is this more likely to be an XP problem or is it
deeper (tied to the motherboard/bios)? In other words, how deep a rebuild
do I need to do to get it working properly again?

Go have a look at your Event Viewer.
Check Apps and System.
Double click on any errors.
