Constant Windows Explorer crashes

And one USB related BSOD!

 

So, let me be short and to the point. I have a Snowball Mic with a flakey connection that often brings up USB malfunction pop ups when it's moved around at times. I've also noticed after moving it one time, a sudden Windows Explorer error happened soon after. Earlier, I got a random BSOD and it was referencing USB.

 

I had a recent one a few minutes ago after grabbing some coke and may have bumped something to move the mic since I noticed a sudden Windows Explorer needs to be restarted error..which was more or less 'frozen' since it was (Not Responding) when I hit restart. I actually had to log off and relog to get my Windows Explorer to stop being dumb.

 

TL;DR Can a faulty USB device cause Windows Explorer to keep breaking/cause a BSOD?

 

I'm really suspect this mic is the cause of these issues.

WINDOWS Explorer, you derp. :P

 

That's the file system for Windows, I wasn't talking about the crappy browser known as Internet Explorer. The two are completely different things. ;)

 

I use Firefox with the best plugins.

I don't exactly have that sort of stuff laying around currently. Regardless, I was planning to get a modmic anyway to convert these headphones into a headset for convenience. Was double checking to see if this dying mic was indeed the cause of Windows acting up.

I have have a memory stick that was given to me to recover data, it instantly blue screens the computer when inserted... but worked in an old win 95 laptop with usb 1.0?

That's weird, though I remember I have a usb stick also plugged in that isn't exactly reliable. I should unplug this to see if it also was contributing to any problems. Thanks for reminding me!
