plug in HDD to USB ports (problem occurs on multiple ports, both USB3 and USB2) and they drop, then windows refinds them and offers to autoplay, and antivirus offers to do a scan on "new drive detected"
Problem happens on two different makes of external HDD too using different cables - so I don't think it's being caused by a dodgy drive.
It happens very frequently - probably every 5 mins or so. Any ideas what might be causing this and how to fix it? It is driving me mad.
(this is on a brand new, clean install, with all mobo drivers loaded. And Win7 is fully up to date.)
