IMO opinion there are two things you need to consider... first is if the freeze is caused by Windows (or USB drivers). Second is if there is an issue with the motherboard. I would try using a linux live CD (ex. Knoppix or Ubuntu) and try my USB device in that environment. If it is a motherboard issue, the system will show the same problem regardless in Linux or Windows.
