    Unplugging USB Internet Device causes memory dump and reboot!

    Somebody help.

    Everytime I pull out my USB (wireless) internet device, I get the blue screen which performs a screen dump and then reboots. Why is this?

    Hi Cookie7898 and welcome to the forums

    This could be because you are not removing the device safely. Check the icons on the bottom right of the taskbar. You are looking for the icon that looks like the one highlighted in red. If this symbol is not showing, click on the left-pointing arrow on the left (shown here as right-pointing because all the symbols are showing) to expand this group to show all symbols.

    Left click on this and from the pop-up select the device by left clicking on it. Wait until the following message is displayed.

    Click 'OK' and then remove the device.

    Thank you Dwarf for both the welcome to the forum and the advice: problem is solved.

    I just didn't realise that I should safely remove this piece of hardware like I do everything else.
