Windows XP crashes when iPod Nano or iPhone 3G syncs

My computer has been crashing when i attempt to sync my iPod/iPhone
I had an iPod nano for about a year with no problems, I upgraded to Service Pack 2 and afterwards Service Pack 3 to get my iPhone 3G to work. It sync'ed well the first couple of times but now I cannot even get my old iPod to sync without my computer shutting down, I have the option on to not automatically restart on failure or something like that. No blue screen of death or anything
What should I do because I'm really honestly quite frustrated at this point. Any help is greatly appreaciated.

Windows XP Pro

I've been getting the same problem since upgrading to 7.1. Upgraded to 7.7.1 problem still happens. I have searched everywhere for a fix and a thread where some diagnosis seemed to be taking place but this has been extremely slow.

As a workaround, I found that using an older USB port works. USB 2.0 seems to always crash my iPod Nano 3rd Generation. My 1st Generation works fine with USB 2.0

I hope this helps.
