I'm having the same exact problem with my brand new 20GB Ipod photo. Every time I plug it in, the computer restarts, then I get an "Windows has recovered from a serious error" message.

Anyone have any advice?

I recently purchased a 20GB iPod Photo and my PC crashed the day after I installed the lastest version of iTunes, iPod software and iTrip software (obviously I'm not sure if installing the iPod software has anything to do with my computer crashing). I got a blue screen with a fatal error and I haven't been able to get my machine to boot up (in safe mode or otherwise), or restore to the latest settings that worked.

I am also having this problem and I could even use my Ipod 20G because when my computer shut down, my Ipod got corrupted I did not work anymore. I took it to the apple service center and I still don'thave it back. Can anyone help us because I am afraid to plug it again and have the problem.

I found that i had this problem when i didnt have alot of cache left on my computer. after i cleared useless disc usage (files, browser history, programs, recyling bin &c.) Basicly making sure i have significant free RAM and HDD space. i have since had no issue like that.
