I know this may sound weird but with the help of some others and a lot of time put into it I’ve found the Fuze causes problem with my new Gigabyte EP45-UD3R motherboard.
I was getting weird behaviour and reboot problems, flaky stuff. Once I narrowed it down to my USB devices I then narrowed it down to the Fuze.
Anyone know anything about this at all?
Had not heard that one, and I am supprised as Gigabyte is usually really good with this kinda stuff. How are your USBs supported on that board?

This is surprising, a USB device shouldn’t effect your computer and cause it to reboot. Have you tried your Fuze in another computer? I would suspect your Gigabyte USB drivers are buggy. Is there updates?

Actually Niko, I have seen this with off brand Motherboards, with complex USB devices. They conflict so much that the motherboard runs a shutdown self protection utility, to try and save any damage. However i do believe that what we both said about updating USB support is the best bet.
In addition to making sure you have the latest chipset drivers, I’d also look for a BIOS update.
The latest SP for your OS probably wouldn’t hurt either.
I should have given this another day before posting. But I have the answer and will pass it on here.
In the BIOS with the EP45-UD3R (Gigabyte is not an off brand but very good Mb and has been around some time - understood Dell has used them) there is a setting under Integrated Peripherals. It’s called “Legacy USB Storage Detect”. If this is enabled it will attempt to boot off of a USB device. The Fuze, like others, will come on as soon as your PC comes on. It was trying to boot from the Fuze and causing flaky issues. Once I disabled it the problem was solved.
I should have caught this myself. Arghhh…
Strange, I have that motherboard and I haven’t had to to anything in the BIOS (BIOS version F6). Either way It’s good to see the problem resolved.
