Well, I've been bitten a few times by the logical fallacy referred to by the Latin phrase _post hoc ergo propter hoc_, so I'm dubious concerning the usb trail, although I'm as ignorant as I am dubious. For every system freeze I have ever experienced, the guilty party was my graphics card/driver combination, notably, my nvidia card with the closed-source driver. As it appears you have an nvidia video card, you may wish to explore this possibility, if you haven't already. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
