Hey, whenever i link my K750i to my pc it connects all fine, but when i remove the cable the pc restarts instanty, and i get a serious error pop up when it has finished rebooting. I tried the 'safely romove hardware' thing in windows, but it still occurs. Can any one help me?

Possibly you may need to re-install, bro. Doesn't sound like a major problem though.

possibly. In my experience pc restarts when removing or inserting usb devices comes down to hardware problems - either the device, or the port on the pc. You could try another cable and another port on the pc just in case there is a hardware fault.

Yeah, I agree with max. If possible, install your K750 on a friends PC and see if the same thing happens. If it does, then you've got a dodgy cable or phone.

If it doesn't, try a different usb device in the slot that you usually plug your phone into. If the PC restarts when you remove it, you might have a dodgy USB slot.

The only other thing I can think of at the minute is that the PC is using default microsoft drivers for the USB hub and there's a compatibility issue. This can be resolved by downloading and installing the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard.
