System & Screen Freeze when I use external usb drive!
Hi, recently I bought 2 (DDR 400 1GB) of PCI memory, which runs without a problem at all.
But when I am using my usb flash disk or usb hard disk, the system froze (not the blue screen, just froze at the last image) and the mouse cursor does not move and the Ctrl-Alt-Del has no response at all. (only hard reset is possible)
This does not happen immeiately after i plug in the usb device, but happen at random time. But happen every time when I try to copy a large file over 50MB or so... small files are ok. Even happen when I watch a movie out of the usb hard disk.
So I tried took out 1G of memory and run with just one GB of memory, it does not freeze at all.
Now I don't know what to do, as I really need 2GB to run some application, I am not sure if the store will let me exange other brand of memory.

The Evo N610c is upgradable to only 1GB of memory. You're overloading the motherboard, it can't handle 2GB. If you really need 2GB, get a new laptop (or a PC, for that matter). Otherwise, I'd run (2) 512MB sticks of RAM to even out the workload.
