   yes, that is also a possibility... many usb hubs that i'm aware of do not use   
   diodes on the power lines so the power from the hub also flows back into the   
   computer... a friend's dell system had problems due to a usb hub like this...   
   we always had to unplug the usb hub before trying to turn the machine on or   
   reboot it for any reason... it was quite aggrivating...
