430717 2006-02-15 23:00:00 I've been having this problem for a while now and just can't seem to get it nailed down.

Everyone once in awhile, my laptop crashes to the blue screen o' death with the message "BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER"

I've researched this and from what I understand, it's from an over demand on the power for USB devices. (printers, scanners, modems, ect) Problems is, the only thing I generally have hooked up is this fancy Verizon Wireless card for broadband. This card is a PCMI card. My question is, does the PCMI slot feed power off the USB?

I have an HP zv6000, 3200+ AMD 64 w/ 1 gig of RAM, ATI 200M video.

Hope it works for you.

The power comes from the same power supply, but I can't see it using the power control routines which are part of the USB protocol. Of course I might be wrong about that. ;)
