Could be a number of things. I had the same issue with an old computer of mine years ago. It rooted all the way back to a faulty installation of my OS. But let's not jump to any conclusions..

Have you tried plugging it in to other USB ports?
Have you tried plugging it in to a different computer to see the problem persists?

I tried every USB port including the ones that the mouse/KB use, even the front case ports.

It worked fine on my other PCs, but soon after trying to get it to work on the problem setup, it died, now it wont even work on anything ( it worked just fine for over a year )

it's made me hesitant to buy a new one for further investigation since it might just die again

Update the BIOS

an out of date bios could kill a flash drive?

It could cause problems registering the flash drives

reason i ask is because the drive seems to have died, doesn't work in any other PC's after trying to get it to work on the problem mobo
