My Mac Mini doesn't start up when usb devices are plugged in.
It just shows the "White screen of Death" when 1 or more usb ports are used.

Try resetting the SMC

Haha. I just restarted it and it worked. Instead of turning it off and on. But thanks.
By the way:
Note: It is possible that the SMC could encounter an issue that may cause unusual system behavior typically related to the symptoms described below.

So I hope it is fixed for now. But could someone also post another solution?
