I've searched several forums for this problem but can't find a situation quite the same - when I plug anything into my USB ports, my machine starts clocking, the fan speeds up and all apps slow down, and the whole thing eventually becomes unresponsive to the point I have to do a hard restart.
I haven't been able to pin it down to a single factor - it's happened when I plug in an iPhone, iPod nano, flash drive, external HDD, when only Safari is running, or maybe only Finder - it's driving me nuts.
I'm up to date using 10.6.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
