@Alok
It appears more like power related problem to me on your computer. When you connect the Pen-drive, it drives some current, which is usually less than 400mA, if the power supply and USB port circuit on your computer is fine, it won’t have any problem, but if your USB port is not able to deliver correct amount of current, 2 possibilities arise :
1. The USB device will not work
2. Computer may restart due to current imbalance at the Motherboard circuit.
You can consider attaching a PCI to USB card to your PC, which may work, or get your computer’s power supply and motherboard checked for any power related problems.
