First of all, Merry Christmas to all.
In the last week or two I've been getting periodic
blue screens showing a USB Bug Code error, sometimes
when the PC isn't being used at all other than
downloading some bittorent stuff.
The only USB device I have connected permanently is a
mouse.
Is this likely to be a fault with the mouse, the USB
drivers or a physical fault with the USB port voltage
or something?
Anyone have any experience with this?
The only clue I can find with Google is to get a
powered hub but I've been using this setup for two or
three years without problems so I can't see that being
a solution.
Any ideas?

i'm assuming you don't have a USB flash drive plugged in anywhere? i had
a problem with the "Techworks" (rebadged cheap Lexar lines) USB flash
drives crashing me out to a bsod. the stick worked fine with everything
except that particular PC. gave me hell until i finally decided to
consign it to "long term storage" and haven't touched it in 3 months.
if the mouse has been there for awhile and the problem started recently,
it's unlikely to do with the mouse.
is the bluescreen error something like
"Windows has encountered a serious error and has been stopped to prevent
further damage" or whatever it is?
if so what does the line of the error say exactly?

I can't remember the exact syntax of the error David,
but it goes something like you say, except that it
specifically mentions "USB Bug Code".
It has nothing to do with any flash drive, camera,
scanner etc.
I use all those but the error occurs independantly of
them, even when I haven't used any of those devices
for a week or so, and then at seemingly random times.
I can't relate it to any specific event or program.
It seems to happen out of the blue, and for no
apparent reason.

yeah, they're STOP errors. if you can grab the exact error line after
the STOP (usually a number and a few letters) it helps actually pinpoint
what the error means (and probably a solution). there's a database of
most possible STOP errors which i've used myself in the past -
