Have you tried all the USB ports, in particular the ports at the back if you are using a desktop PC?

same problem here, also with a 20gb ipod. Mine also shuts the PC down on a disconnect of the ipod as well although this is less frequent.
I was using the USB2 ports on the front of my Dell but I've swithed them round now and am using a Firewire port on the back and touch wood it hasn't happened in the 2 days since I switched over.

Good for you, David. Using a Firewire connection instead of USB may also help.

Enjoy.
