...there could be a multitude of reasons for this, it could be that your TV's USB port is failing, that the drive is dying, it failed to format properly, or a multitude of other issues. Do you have a Bluray player?

before using it as a windows installer, does the flash drive formatted as FAT32? try other formats such as eXFAT and NTFS
