    why does my computer freeze every time i plug in my external?
    Okay... I recently bought an external hard drive. As soon as I got home I put a few TV.shows and movies on there. The next day I gave it to a friend and she put heaps of anime on there for me.

    BUT     now whenever I plug in my my external... open the files on there... it freezes! I have had this problem before with just regular files that contain videos on my computer... I have no idea how to get it to stop this... its annoying having to reboot and have the SAME problem again!

    Help! Lol Oh and I'm not too tech savvy so you'll have to be patient... thanks! x.

    It may just be a poor computer, performance lagging. How long has this been happening? Have you installed any new programs prior to this happening? How old is the computer.
