USB Minidrive Problem

My computer starts to load, but stops before loading windows.  Managed to get a message (#M1004) - Overheating shutdown.
 
Found the problem to be with the USB Iomega Minidrive.  Once I removed it, the problem disappeared.  After the computer starts, it can be replaced and works properly.
 
Anyone else have this problem?  Scary when your computer doesn't start, let me tell you!

Maybe it's related to the fact that the drive has been setup on, and transferring files from an older Inspiron Model 7000, with Win-98 (USB 1.0).

It's a Inspiron 8600, Windows XP, one week old.

The inserted usb drive also stops other internet communication, and is cured by removal.
