I have 4 USB 2 ports on my computer they all run all of my other USB

my card reader it freezes my computer. Ctrl Alt Del won't work. The only way
I can get it going again is to force a shutdown by holding the power button
and reboot. I thought I might have a bad card reader os I bought another one
and it does the same thing. One is a lexar media and the other is an eFilm.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks

How do you connect the card reader? By itself or with all the "other"
USB device also connected?- Hide quoted text -

You can try a powered USB hub. These type of hubs usually have an
additional power supply to add more power over the USB ports.
