So far we don't even know if your car won't go because you didn't put the key in the ignition or you left the garage door open. We need details. Which Mac, speed, HD, memory, OS, fully updated?, network set-up, etc. And a complete description of the crash - Is some app crashing? Or is the OS itself panicing?

Next door neighbor had a usb port that worked but was very flaky. Would even shut his computer off at times when he plugged a device in. The problem with his port was one of the pins was bent and would touch the metal ground of the cage of the socket or plug when the plug was inserted. The result was his machine would just power off suddenly. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

A little less drastic option that would likely fix any problems would be to reinstall the latest Combo Update.
